We're coming to a close! What is the main threat to beluga whales in their habitats?
-
Overfishing
-
Climate change
-
Predation by killer whales
-
Habitat degradation and pollution
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The correct answer is "Habitat degradation and pollution". The main threat to beluga whales in their habitats is human activity, including pollution, habitat destruction, and noise pollution. Beluga whales are particularly sensitive to noise pollution, as it disrupts their ability to communicate and locate food. Pollution and habitat destruction also negatively impact their food sources and breeding grounds, leading to a decline in their population and overall health.
