Beluga Newborn Baby, Vancouver Aquarium, June 27, 2008, British Columbia, Canada CM11-008

Description : Beluga calves do not suck when nursing. Instead, the mother squirts the milk into her calfs mouth. The frilly-edged tongue of a baby beluga helps it to form a seal when nursing. A beluga calf may nurse for as long as two years. Weaning starts at about six months, when the calf starts eating a combination of food and mom’s milk.
Wild belugas live in Arctic and subarctic waters. The southernmost beluga population inhabits the St. Lawrence River estuary of Canada.
