On February 27, the team from Explora’s Animo series takes you on board the Bleuvet to discover, together with the GREMM research crew, the lives and habitat of St. Lawrence belugas.

Exciting news: participate in the collective adoption of the beluga Animo, the “protégé” of the series’ viewers. A simple and immediate gesture to support scientific research and raise awareness of the history of these white whales; such are the best guarantees for their future.

Be sure not to miss this episode, which airs at 6 pm on Explora.

It will also be broadcast on Radio-Canada on June 12… mark it on your calendar!
