MONTREAL— The head of a marine research group says a young narwhal that has been spotted swimming with belugas in the St. Lawrence River appears to be just another member of the pod. Robert Michaud says the wayward arctic mammal was first spotted in 2016 swimming with a group of juvenile belugas in the river, some 1,000 kilometres south of its usual range. The GREMM research team was filming a group of belugas when they realized a narwhal was amongst them! The juvenile narwhal — identifiable from its tusk and grey spots — was filmed over the summer swimming closely with about 10 white beluga whales.
