Belugas usually live in the arctic seas. When it is winter and the ice gets thick on the water and the belugas can't break it and they die because they can't breath. Belugas usually have a school of a dozen belugas to swim around with. Their enemy is the killer whale, one of the fiersest animals in the sea! Fishermen fish for belugas because of their thick skin.
