Here's the breakdown:
* Beluga whales do have a dorsal fin, but it's very small and almost completely fused to their back. It's more like a bump than a fin.
* There are other whale species that lack a prominent dorsal fin, such as:
* Right whales: These whales have a very small, rudimentary dorsal fin that is easily missed.
* Gray whales: They lack a dorsal fin altogether.
* Humpback whales: Although they have a large, distinctive dorsal fin, it's not present in young humpbacks.
So, while belugas are known for their small, almost non-existent dorsal fin, they're not the only whales that don't have a prominent one.
