Habitat: Arctic and sub-Arctic coastal seas, estuaries, and river mouths.

Native range: Northern oceans of North America, Europe, and Asia, especially Arctic shelf seas.

Beluga Whale has a mammal diet shaped by anatomy, habitat, and competition. The exact food mix depends on whether the species is built more for hunting, grazing, browsing, or omnivory.

• Plant material, prey, or both depending on species design
• Seasonally abundant foods in the local habitat
• Higher-value foods that match energy demands

The food available in arctic and sub-arctic coastal seas, estuaries, and river mouths. often matters as much as the species' ideal diet.
