The North Atlantic Right Whale has been hunted almost to extinction with only about 250 animals remaining so whale watchers are particularly enthused when they see one.
These whales also visit the Strait of Honguedo (between Gaspe and Anticosti Island) and the St. Lawrence Estuary where there is, additionally, a resident population of beluga whales.
Beluga is a corruption of the Russian word belukha meaning 'white' which commonly describes Delphinapterus leucas or 'white dolphin without a wing.' They are cold water, toothed whales that traditionally live in Arctic waters.
