Kick-off your weekend by witnessing the first-of-its-kind documentation of a sperm whale birth — it’s powerful. 🐋 It's a bit hard to see, but the baby, born in the middle of the group, was kept safe on the family’s backs and heads for hours, until it was ready to swim on its own. Biologist Shane Gero and the Project CETI team in the Caribbean captured videos of the birth this summer while monitoring a specific family of sperm whales that Gero had been watching since 2004.
