Nearly a dozen of these white whales are moving along Batture \u00e0 Th\u00e9ophile toward Cap de Bon-D\u00e9sir. They swim, completely indifferent to the cold, the wind, the frigid water that supports their bodies, continuing their life as belugas in a St. Lawrence deserted by pleasure craft and fishing boats. All that remain are the big freighters, the bulk carriers, the tankers that deliver the clothes, food and other everyday items that fill our homes. The belugas\u2019 soudscape changes in winter. The hum of engines is replaced by the grinding of ice. Only this year, the ice floes around them are sparse.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p class=\"GREMMRapport\">The incredible vocal repertoire of belugas might be an adaptive response to the squeaking and crackling sounds of the pack ice. Because ice is an integral part of their living environment. This species is usually found in the Arctic, where it lives year round. The small population that resides in the St. Lawrence is a legacy of the last ice age. \u201cOur\u201d belugas do not visit their distant cousins in the Arctic. If there is any mixing between the populations, these are isolated cases involving vagrants like the narwhal that has been observed in the Estuary since 2016. But whether or not that occurs with belugas, visually, there is no way of knowing. Only by conducting a genetic analysis and examining contaminant profiles would we be able to determine whether this beluga is an exceptional visitor to the St. Lawrence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Between the snow squalls, a small group of belugas weaves its way through the ice floes off Les Bergeronnes on February 5.
