Cool Facts- The beluga sturgeon is one of the largest freshwater fish and the third largest bony fish in the world. On an even more impressive standing, the beluga sturgeon rivals great white sharks and Greenland sharks as one of the largest active, predatory fish. Females tend to be much larger than males due to needing more fat reserves for energy while creating eggs. Spending most of their lives in deep lakes, these sturgeons swim upstream to spawn. Females do not reach sexual maturity until 20 years of age and only lay eggs every four to seven years. Sadly, poaching for caviar and meat has dropped beluga sturgeon numbers to dangerous levels. Through conservation efforts, thousands of fertilized eggs and juveniles have been introduced to wild populations yet illegal hunting results in further decline.

“George, you are a very intelligent individual, do you know that? You are a very intelligent individual. And I think that one of the reasons that we’ve, like, thrived as well as we have is because you’re very smart and you’re also willing to stick to your guns — which most people don’t — and so, you’re a good counterbalance for me. Because you, um.. you balance me out. I just- I just was thinking about it so I just thought I’d say it out loud.”
