Which of these is NOT a nickname for beluga whales?
-
Sea canary
-
Killer whale
-
White whale
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The correct answer is "Killer whale". Belugas are often called "sea canaries" due to their complex vocalizations and "white whales" because of their distinctive color. They are also sometimes known as "mud whales" due to their habit of rolling in mud and silt in estuaries to exfoliate their skin. However, "killer whale" is a nickname for orcas, a completely different species of whale.
