Narwhals live in the Arctic waters of Canada, Norway, Greenland and Russia, and don't normally range so far south. The Saint Lawrence beluga population is the most southern of the species and is listed as endangered. Young whales tend to wander. Michaud said it was "lucky" that this narwhal was taken in by the belugas as other young whales with wanderlust often "end up in difficult situations." "For this young narwhal to right now survive he needs contact with others, he needs buddies," Michaud said.
