This week, all up and down the St. Lawrence, humpback whales are topping the lists of observations, along with other species of cetaceans and pinnipeds. One individual wows spectators with a huge breach, others venture into the Saguenay and unidentifiable spouts are observed, not to mention harbour seals basking on the rocks and plenty of belugas.<\/p>\n
As has been the case so many times this season, humpbacks have ventured into the mouth of the Saguenay. \u201cTwo humpbacks were seen yesterday in front of the Marine Mammal Interpretation Centre,\u201d comments GREMM\u2019s education director Patrice Corbeil. I don\u2019t know how many humpbacks have swum up the Saguenay this season, at least ten I think…\u201d One individual even performed a few breaches. There were also minke whales, belugas and harbour porpoises in this area teeming with marine mammals. \u201cAs a matter of fact, we were recently wondering, with so many porpoises offshore, why they are so seldom seen in the Saguenay,\u201d enquires Patrice. \u201cAlthough they do show up here from time to time!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
