TITLE
Watch up to 800 beluga whales gathered together off an island in Canada!
Some beluga whales migrate. They move between summer and winter grounds. Scientists have found that mothers might pass on their migratory path to their calves. The whales travel when the sea ice freezes and melts. In the spring, they go to warm waters to raise their young. They are known to gather in huge groups in rivers.
