Cameramen filmed a humpback whale being born for the first time (3 photos + 1 video)

Behold the true miracle of birth.





It is rare to see these giants give birth to their young. The new National Geographic video is completely unique: cameramen captured the birth of a humpback whale.



Whales swim thousands of kilometers to ensure the future of their offspring. The female, captured on video, went to the shores of Hawaii just for this purpose and traveled a huge distance from Alaska. Whales come to these warm waters to give birth. It is safe to give birth here as there are no predators nearby.



The footage shows that the expectant mother is swimming in a flock, and her relatives are behaving quite aggressively. However, suddenly everyone freezes, including the female. Those whales that were active a few minutes ago seemed to have taken the female under protection. Soon the operator noticed a tiny tail, and after some time a small whale was born.

The whale can't breathe underwater, so his mother pushes him to the surface, where they take their first breaths together. Soon the baby will have a long journey ahead, because there is little food in these waters, so he and his mother will go north.
