Witness a humpback whale birth caught on camera in Hawaii | National Geographic

For the first time ever, cinematographers capture a humpback whale birth before the 5000 mile voyage to their feeding grounds. In Maui, and worldwide, scientists have only recorded a handful of females with calf flukes protruding—a sign labor has begun—but not the entire birth itself. That’s why the event was so meaningful—the first complete humpback whale birth caught on camera, start to finish, which is featured in the new National Geographic series Incredible Animal Journeys, premiering November 19 on National Geographic and streaming the next day on Disney and Hulu.
