Young, female, teenage beluga whales in nuresery pods take on a nursemaid role throughout May-July when calves are born.
Beluga whale calves are born during the summer months of May through July.
The nursery pod stays around during the delivery of a beluga calf, then all of them take off, except a young teenage nursemaid. The baby, then, stays in-between the mother and the nursemaid as they swim, pulling him with the current.
