How much does a beluga weigh, and which is bigger than a killer whale?

1. the beluga whale has many weights

The beluga whale is a kind of whale that is not too big, and cannot be compared with the blue whale, the sperm whale, and other very large whales. Generally speaking, the weight of belugas in adulthood is only between 0.4 and 1.5 tons. There are also heavier belugas, but they are relatively few in number. We may also observe some baby belugas, which are even smaller, weighing only about 80 kilograms. Some factors may affect the specific weight of beluga whales, such as the weight of wild beluga whales is different from that of captive beluga whales, which is affected by many environmental factors.

2. belugas and killer whales than which size

As mentioned above, belugas in all species of whales is not a very large species. For example, they are much smaller than killer whales. The adult body length of killer whales will be between 8 and 10 meters, but the body length of beluga whales is only between 3 and 5 meters, just looking at the length can show that killer whales are much larger than beluga whales. You can also look at their weight, as mentioned above, belugas weigh between 0.4 and 1.5 tons in adulthood, while killer whales generally weigh about 9 tons. So the beluga is much smaller than the killer whale. Belugas and killer whales are not only different in size, but also in personality. The killer whale has a fierce personality, while the beluga whale has a more docile personality.

In addition, the beluga whale is not only smaller than the killer whale, but also smaller than other larger whales. For example, the largest whale is the blue whale, which can weigh up to 150 tons, and its size is more than 100 times that of the white whale.
