That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The correct answer is "Polar bears". The primary predator of beluga whales is the polar bear. Beluga whales are hunted by polar bears when they come to the surface of the water to breathe, particularly in areas where the sea ice is present. Polar bears can also attack beluga whales that are trapped in ice or shallow waters. They are able to use their heightened sense of smell and powerful swimming abilities to track and hunt the beluga whales.
