The smallest cetacean in the St. Lawrence is also the victim of attacks by other species of marine mammals. This is what happened to a young harbour porpoise found stranded alive last fall.<\/p>\n<p>On September 24, 2020, a small harbour porpoise was found on the beach in Penouille in the Gasp\u00e9 Peninsula. Three times, fishery officers specifically trained for this kind of maneuvre tried to get it back into the water. However, the animal repeatedly found itself back on the beach and was ultimately euthanized. The <a href=\"https:\/\/baleinesendirect.org\/en\/marine-mammal-emergencies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Quebec Marine Mammal Emergency Response Network<\/a> recovered the carcass thanks to its <a href=\"https:\/\/baleinesendirect.org\/en\/quebec-marine-mammal-emergency-response-network-sets-up-mobile-team\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">new network of mobile teams<\/a>. These teams can now cover a larger territory and respond to animals in difficulty whenever necessary and possible.<\/p>\n<p>The harbour porpoise was therefore able to be examined at the Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al\u2019s Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, in partnership with the Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperative and the Centre qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois sur la sant\u00e9 des animaux sauvages.
