Beluga whales don’t have legs or knees, and the appearance of “knees” in some images is actually an illusion caused by the way their abdominal fat pads move and appear when they swim.
These fat pads can tense and move during swimming maneuvers, and the way they appear in certain angles or movements can create the illusion of “knees”.
