The teeth are all wrong for a whale. Whales have several layers of very sharp teeth to filter krill and shrimp.

They're all wrong for a baleen whale which is what you describe; there are two main types of whales, the baleen and toothed whales. Beluga are toothed whales, and they don't filter krill and shrimp.
