The young humpback whale has been exploring the waters off Montreal for a few days, and was likely led astray while on a hunting trip, authorities said.

A young humpback whale that swam up one of Canada's major rivers and has been exploring the waters off Montreal for a few days was likely led astray while on a hunting trip, authorities have said.

The humpback is likely to be the same creature as that seen a few days ago further downstream near Quebec City, said Marie-Eve Muller of the Quebec marine mammal emergency network . Each pod spends the summer near the poles and travels to tropical areas in their respective hemispheres during the winter to breed.

It is possible that the whale could extend its stay in the city for several months, she added, although locks and rapids further upstream would likely prevent it from exploring any further west.
