An unsuspecting visitor has been spotted in the St. Lawrence River for the past three years. This narwhal is more than 1,000 kilometres south from where it typically lives. Not only that, it appears as though this lone narwhal has been adopted by a band of beluga whales. He has been captured on film playing with his adoptive family. “It behaves like it was one of the boys,” said Robert Michaud, the president and scientific director of the Group and Research and Education on Marine Mammals. The behaviour suggests that the narwhal has been completely accepted as one of the group.
