Do beluga whales migrate or hibernate?

Beluga whales stay mostly in Artic waters near Canada, Alaska, Greenland and Russia. But they do migrate a little south, near Quebec, for the winter. Beluga whales do migrate, but not in the winter as mentioned above. Belugas enjoy the icy temperatures of the arctic waters during the winter time. They have a layer of blubber, usually 10-15 cm thick that allowes them to enjoy the water. When the ice starts to break up in the spring and summer time, and new water ways are created, the beluga pods tend to migrate farther south into places like the Saint Laurence river, due to the warmer temperatures. It may sound weird that beluga whales enjoy the cold temperatures of the arctic in the winter and the warmer temperatures of the Saint Laurence river in the summer, but this is true. When a pod of belugas, which can range anywhere from 10 to thousands of belugas in one pod, reaches the warmer waters, their skin addaptes to the temperatures easily. Also, beluga whales are known to reproduce during the spring time. I hope this answer helpeed with your question a little bit :)
