currently thinking about the lil baby (kaluga?) sturgeon jeremy wade found

Oh i think about her every day

The little baby, the hope of a generation

If we take care of our world we will see her in 40 years, 8 feet long, swimming along with babies of her own

hello! first of all i wanna say as one sturgeon obsessed autistic to another THANK YOU. you are doing god's work and i adore you for that

second of all im currently in the process of making a fish randomizer/generator (?) and ive been having trouble making a collage of kaluga sturgeons since a lot of pics i seem to get from the search are the ones that also showed up for beluga sturgeons which i already did a collage for. is there any big differences between the two? maybe you have some pictures of kalugas that you'd like me to include in the thing. sorry this is so long ougggh sturgeon love forever

Belugas are larger and slightly darker in coloring than kalugas. The most noticeable difference is their barbells: beluga has fringed barbells and kaluga has straight ones.
