"Rare Footage: First-Ever Video of Newborn Great White Shark Birth"

TL;DR Summary
The world's first-ever footage of a newborn great white shark was captured off the coast of Santa Barbara, California, by wildlife filmmaker Carlos Gauna and UC Riverside biology doctoral student Phillip Sternes. The 5-foot-long, white pup was veiled in a "milky" white substance, suggesting it had just been born. This discovery could provide crucial insights into the birthing locations and reproductive biology of great white sharks, which are listed as "vulnerable" worldwide.
