@PeteShoniker @LiveItearth We believe they may be similar to humans, the oldest whale aged (that I'm aware of) was in its 80s! Most I've encountered are in their 20s

[lisa loseto @LosetoLisa]

@PeteShoniker @LiveItearth Its interesting we see different populations have different size ranges. The eastern beaufort sea belugas are some of the longest, and those in Hudson bay are a bit smaller...and maybe rounder. I've measured whales close to 5metres...(16 feet), and hunters speak of 18foot whales

[lisa loseto @LosetoLisa]

@Mrsmills62 @LiveItearth All animals have unique adaptations to their environment and home. Belugas have think blubber to keep them warm, no dorsal fin to get stuck in ice (or lose heat from), and the have great ways to search for food with ecolocation...and other adaptations we havent full explored

[lisa loseto @LosetoLisa]

@LiveItearth it ranges with the whale size and is a few centimeters or a bit bigger than a golf ball.

[lisa loseto @LosetoLisa]

@LiveItearth Great question, we don't know...we hope Wilma made it back home to her family. We do think she was from the St. Lawrence River Estuary

[lisa loseto @LosetoLisa]

@vida_ferris Interestingly...it seems while baby belugas are in their mommy's (uterus) they grow 'baby' teeth, but they never erupt our come out of their gums...instead they are kept within jaw and eventually are re-abosbed.

[lisa loseto @LosetoLisa]

@KjhMcdonald Great question...I will let our other beluga expert take this one @Marine_Valeria

[lisa loseto @LosetoLisa]

@vida_ferris It can range, but a max of 40 teeth. Teeth are often used to age belugas!

[lisa loseto @LosetoLisa]

@vida_ferris They swim and do spend a lot of time diving, and time at the surface to breathe...so they actively move like we would swimming to different depths...but of course are adapted to do maneuver in water

[lisa loseto @LosetoLisa]

@sd58kengard @LiveItearth A lot of animals in the arctic are white and we believe it has to do with hiding from your predators by looking like the environment around you...

[lisa loseto @LosetoLisa]

@sd58kengard @LiveItearth We've been wondering the same thing!! We think its a complex story of avoiding predators or competition for food, heading to places where your family visits, so part of a long history of travelling...similar to always visiting family cabins...
