The squishy part of this beluga is not the brain. It is the melon. The melon contains oil and wax. This is why it looks so squishy. A beluga’s brain, however, is well protected and located inside its skull.
Beluga heads are super squishy precisely because of the structure they use for echolocation: the melon! All toothed whales have melons, but it is always very bulbous in belugas.
Although a beluga in the video did not suffer brain damage during the recording of the clip, we would like to state that we do not support captivity. All animals should live with their pods, free, in their natural habitat.
