Here are some facts about Beluga Whales:

• Love to eat Tuna, Harp Seal, they are Carnivorous but not known to attack humans.
• Have six layers of razor sharp teeth.
  
• Their habitat is in Coastal Greece and Scandinavia. In the winter their home is a coasts of Patagonia.
• As far as mating; only once every twenty years with a 30 day gestation then the Piddlins are born, about seven or eight babies at one time.
• There are more than 17 million Beluga whales at the present time. they are not an Endangered Animal.

I found this statement on the site I used for the fact;
"Male Belugas tend to be solitary, while females raise their young and socialize in large groups called "fronds." Each frond has a leader, or "mermistress," and she is the only female who nurses all of the young in each frond. A mermistress also disciplines the young belugas, often eating those that are disobedient."
How's that for discipline?
