Greg Mercer, The Guardian; 'One of the boys': lost narwhal finds new home with band of beluga whales
[Kip Currier: Check out the fascinating video clip in this article too. Another example of how drones are being utilized for scientific research, such as wildlife monitoring and conservation, and yielding intriguing information and insights.]
"Whale researchers in Quebec’s St Lawrence River are celebrating a
remarkable discovery: a juvenile narwhal far from its arctic home, that
appears to have been adopted by a band of beluga whales.
The narwhal, more than 1,000km outside its typical range, was filmed
by a drone swimming and playing with dozens of belugas that were
treating it as one of their own."
