Two Beluga Whales Are Rescued From Performing As Show Animals In China, And Their Smiles Say It All

Sadly, due to us humans, their life is only harder. We are making their home the sea warmer and dirtier. Beluga whales live in open water areas close to the ice edge. They like it cold, and climate change is causing the ice in their habitats to melt, van den Hoek explained. Another problem is our use of plastic. It was found in nearly every beluga whale that was tested. This may sound absurd, but it's true. A pioneering study of 7 belugas in Canada's remote Arctic waters has found microplastics in the innards of every single whale.
