Beluga Sturgeon – Up To 118 Years

With its gorgeous black eggs, the beluga sturgeon adds more elegance to the world. Its caviar might set you back by as much as $4,500 per pound! The fish itself is huge and can grow as long as 20 feet and even more than 2,000 pounds in weight. It is quite tragic to think that this fish is critically endangered since people hunt it for eggs and meat. In the wild, it can live up to its fifties. However, there are times when it has lived up to around 118 years! How impressive is that?
