What is the term used to describe the beluga's prominent forehead?

Melon

Bump

Cranium

Dome
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The correct answer is "Melon". The melon is a rounded, fatty bump on the whale's forehead, just in front of the blowhole, which allows the beluga to produce a variety of sounds and to focus them in a specific direction. This adaptation is important for communication, navigation, and hunting in their Arctic environment.
