That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The correct answer is "Around 35 to 50 years". Some individuals live up to 70 years or more. Factors such as predation, disease, availability of food, environmental changes, and human activities can impact their lifespan. Generally, beluga whales have a long lifespan compared to many other marine mammals, due to their relatively low predation rate and the abundance of their natural food sources in the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions.
