🐟Kaluga
Le Kaluga ou Calouga, scientifiquement Huso dauricus, est une espèce de poissons appartenant au genre Huso qui comprend aussi le Beluga ou Bélouga. Il dispute à ce dernier le titre de plus grand poisson d'eau douce du monde, car il peut atteindre 5,6 m pour une masse d'une tonne. Il s'agit d'une des deux espèces de la famille des esturgeons endémiques du fleuve Amour avec l'esturgeon de l’Amour (Acipenser schrenckii).
