Incredible Video Shows Sperm Whales Come Together to Birth a Calf - ScienceAlert
Overview
A high-resolution video recorded on 8 July shows an entire group of sperm whales gathering and cooperating for several hours to support the birth of a calf, captured in unprecedented detail. The footage reveals complex social support during parturition, with multiple adults appearing to protect and assist the mother and newborn. The recent rescue attempt for Timmy, a stranded whale off Germany, illustrates how public and professional attention to living cetaceans now accompanies scientific documentation of their social behaviours, underscoring growing human involvement in whale welfare.
