Meet Orion

Beluga whales, often referred to as the "canaries of the sea" for their melodic vocalizations, are one of the most captivating marine mammals. These gentle giants are typically around four to six meters in length and are known for their sociable nature and striking white coloration.

Orion, like many belugas, calls the cold, pristine waters of Admirals Beach, Newfoundland and Labrador, home. Belugas thrive in these northern habitats, forming tight-knit pods and navigating the icy currents with grace.

However, life in these waters isn't without its challenges. Belugas like Orion can face threats from changes in their ecosystem, including shifting food supplies and human impacts like noise pollution. Despite these obstacles, Orion and his pod exemplify resilience, contributing significantly to the marine ecosystem by helping to maintain balance in the food chain.

Orion’s journey through these northern waters is a reminder of the importance of preserving these magnificent creatures and their environment. By tracking Orion, you’re helping to support efforts to protect belugas and their vital role in the ocean's health.
