"Unprecedented Drone Footage Captures Live Birth of Great White Shark"

A wildlife filmmaker and a biology doctoral student captured drone footage of a live newborn great white shark off the coast of Santa Barbara, California, shedding its embryonic layer, providing a rare glimpse into the birthing process of these elusive creatures. The discovery may help solve the mystery of where great white sharks give birth, as previous research suggested the area between Santa Barbara and Baja California as a critical nursing habitat. The footage also revealed large, potentially pregnant, white sharks in the vicinity, adding to the understanding of great white shark biology and behavior.
