This article appears in Volume V03, Page 712 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BEC-BER
BELUGA (Delphinapterus leucas) , also called the "
white
  whale," a cetacean of the family Delphinidae, characterized by its rounded head and uniformly light colour. A native of the Arctic seas, it extends in the western
Atlantic
  as far
south
  as the river St
Lawrence
 , which it ascends for a considerable distance. In colour it is almost pure
white
 ; the maximum length is about twelve feet; and the back-fin is replaced by a low
ridge
 . Examples have been taken on the British coasts; and individuals have been kept for some time in captivity in America and in London. See CETACEA.
