Beluga Whales

Gaspar, the beluga whale at the Georgia Aquarium, died this week. A Google search turns up information about Gaspar and beluga whales.

You can search the Encyclopedia of Animals by Ebsco in GALILEO for text information. They don't have pictures of beluga whales.

Sea World offers an interesting site of Beluga whales with a list of references and a list of books for young children.

Wikipedia has Beluga Whale information with pictures.

One source doesn't have everything you need. Research means looking again and again. Check the authority of the information.

If you know nothing about a topic using the Encyclopedia is one way to build your foundation of knowledge. Then when you skip through Google if you already know a little bit you won't get tripped up by scam web sites.
