Le Béluga tire son nom d'un mot russe qui signifie «blanchâtre». Mais, en fait, seuls les adultes sont blancs. Le nouveau-né (veau) est tout brun. Sa coloration change pour devenir bleuâtre à l'âge de deux ans (bleuvet), puis grisâtre à trois ans (blanchon). C'est entre l'âge de 5 à 10 ans qu'il devient blanc. 5, record 1, French, - bleuvet
