Calves spend their time learning to swim, hunt and move with agility by imitating their mother and other adults.

Alongside its mother, Gaspar<\/a>, the baby looks tiny. Its slightly paler skin contrasts with its mother\u2019s dark black skin. The two humpbacks swim side by side. When Gaspar dives, she lifts her fluke, but her little one doesn\u2019t do so every time. Its movements seem clumsy in the eyes of the research assistant from the Group for Research and Education on Marine Mammals<\/a> (GREMM) who, filled with emotion, captures a shot of them.<\/p>\n

The following day, the research assistant saw the calf trying to imitate its mother leaping out of the water. Observers in the Saguenay\u2013Saint-Laurent Marine Park <\/strong>also had the chance to witness Gaspar and her calf\u2019s learning sessions, which are essential to its survival.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
