Rare Footage: First-Ever Video of Humpback Whale Giving Birth

Scientists have captured rare footage of a humpback whale giving birth, a sight that had never been seen before. The video, part of National Geographic's new series "Incredible Animal Journeys," shows the birthing process from start to finish. The footage also revealed previously unknown insights into the birthing process, including the presence of several male humpbacks during delivery. The males were observed blowing bubbles, possibly to trigger the release of feel-good hormones. The video showcases the beauty of the moment as the mother and calf lovingly interact before embarking on their new life.
