A three-way ballet\u2026 a race in which body touches body. All around the massive but elegant blue whales, water splashes, spurts, and sprays. On September 13, Richard Sears<\/a> of the Mingan Island Cetacean Study (MICS) observes what he calls a \u201crumba\u201d near \u00cele du Corrosol, off the coast of\u00a0Sept-\u00celes<\/strong>. Out in front, a female swims at considerable speed while two males chase her using their entire bodies: fins, head, and tail. This contest is believed to be a prelude to reproduction. The trio swims at a good pace toward\u00a0Mont-Saint-Pierre\u00a0<\/strong>in the Gasp\u00e9 Peninsula.<\/p>\n

In the St. Lawrence, these \u201crumbas\u201d occur in early fall. They can go on for several hours until one of the males drops out of the race. The victor becomes the female\u2019s companion. The pair can swim together for several days or even weeks. Do these duos truly result in reproduction between the two individuals? A tough question to answer! To find out, one would need to trace a family tree based on genetics, which would be a formidable challenge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
