Safari Ltd. Beluga Whale #211002 Review:

The body of the figurine is beautifully designed and colored, with a shiny off-white color that extends throughout the back, belly, fins, tail, and head. The glossy finish and tint of the paint are eye-catching.

In terms of size, this Safari Ltd. beluga whale figurine is the largest among the currently available beluga options. Its elongated shape and nice curve to the back position the head in a high and prominent position.

One distinctive aspect of this figurine is the oversized blowhole at the top of the head. It is worth mentioning that the melon on the top of the head is slightly undersized compared to the actual proportions of a beluga whale. Additionally, the mouth of the figurine does not contain any teeth.

Overall a very nice figure from Safari Ltd. The pose, coloring and size are unique looking.

Beluga Whale Information:

Beluga whales, known as white whales or sea canaries, are captivating inhabitants of Arctic and sub-Arctic waters. With their unique features, including their snowy white skin and bulbous melon-shaped forehead, they possess an unmistakable appearance. Belugas are medium-sized whales, typically ranging from 13 to 20 feet in length and weighing up to 3,500 pounds. Notably, they lack a dorsal fin, which aids in maneuvering through icy expanses.

Among their most fascinating traits are their vocalizations. Belugas are highly communicative creatures, employing a diverse repertoire of sounds such as clicks, whistles, and songs. These vocal abilities have earned them the nickname "sea canaries" and serve vital functions in their social interactions and navigation within the Arctic waters.

Belugas exhibit remarkable adaptations for their Arctic habitat. Their thick layer of blubber provides insulation in frigid waters, while their flexible melon allows for efficient echolocation. Furthermore, their white coloration confers camouflage amidst the icy surroundings, offering an advantage during hunting and evading predators.

These whales are notably social animals, forming tight-knit pods that can range from a few individuals to hundreds. Within these pods, they engage in cooperative behaviors like hunting and protecting one another from potential threats.
