Wow she’s showing her baby to them by lifting it up out of the water…💯👌👍
Teaching it how to breath. But yeah, amazing!!!! Caught on a drone cam. Gotta love modern tech at times like this!
Very cool..
Mama whales trying to teach her new baby how to breath by lifting it out of the water so it doesn’t drown. The baby was possibly distracted by the boat which possibly was stressin the mama whale tf out. Aren’t they sensitive to sound. The guy on the mega phone blasting his voice doesn’t seem like he’s created a comforting birth space for we all know these kind of things are done in peace without all the bruh hah.
let us ALL protect the animals on our beautiful planet before it’s too late !
SO VERY VERY BEAUTIFUL TO SEE THIS MOTHER WHALE AND HER CALF !
Awww brought tears to my eyes.
hebegebe tobe tinyz
Cutie!
Wow, unreal!
Star Trek vibes
Baby whale still bigger than a human 😂🤣💀
So true! A whale brain is many times bigger than a human. If you add that in, it adds a lot about how much we DON’T know about them and vice versa.
Was about to put that boat into orbit but didn’t get mad.
The little calf starting their journey to circumnavigate the globe then it will say goodbye to their mother.
Let’s wish them the best on their adventure
That calf may live longer than a lot of this.
Escape is an girl group, that’s taking American by sheer delight., check them out.., pay we later
They are both half sickly
Wow!
That’s one of the most amazing sights!! I hope all of those people know how special that was. It certainly seemed like the mother was deliberately letting her baby be seen and admired. Although she did check the boat out, she didn’t seem concerned about it at all.
Gorgeous!

That mama is just giving her baby it’s first taste of air. Whales gotta breathe.
I want whale sushi for dinner.
NBC, if you’re just going to rebroadcast somebody else’s material, at least add some commentary
What the heck are you doing so close to that whale?
Back away
You people are so selfish
Humans are so self-centered. I believe the whale might be begging for humans to save her child. It is all about perspective.
Amazing!
Eat the baby whale!!! They probably taste like beef. Jk lol
Actually from an American living in Japan, whale taste like bacon. Good breakfast on ya!
Your gonna need a bigger boat lol 😂
Yay.
After watching far too much of the horrors of Ukraine, this makes me so happy to see.
Wonderful animals.
Especially that mum!
Congrats new momma! People need to appreciate wild life more. Do you know we lost 40% CO2 clean up power due to killing so many whales? Whale poop is good for the planet.
lmao nice fake stat just a random 40%
Incredible!! Such a tiny boat of humans so close too.
Government does not have enough money to protect the people, not to mention the poor are the ones left holding the bag💯
Thank you very much for sharing the details of it. Wow, quick response!
This recommendation literally came at the right time, I dipped by $11k in stocks last week alone.
So impressed knowing how much people talk good about karin daily signals… she also helped me and my friends here in Canada to trade profitably with her daily signals
1 used to work 3 jobs full time at Walmart, a server at night and did lyft on weekends, still only make ends meet. This opportunity that was shown to me allowed me to worked away from the rest race, Dreams do come true, keep an open mind, opportunities are everywhere don’t get stuck in the trap, you deserve a life of financial freedom and time freedom.
I just texted her I hope she replies soon 🙏 🥺
Beautiful
She was not showing her calf off to you..She was keeping her baby away from you
Maybe, but it was a beautiful moment to be captured on a drone cam!
wow
Humans are so stupid
I just go down to my local Buffet to whale watch and have dinner.
No one was there 5 mins earlier to catch the birth? They give birth at the surface as the babies have no idea how or where to get air from.
Pretty cool if you just saw the Avatar movie!
So proud, so happy, so unbelievably beautiful.
🤣 Alright, picture taken time to go. Mama bears don’t play and I’d assume Mama whales don’t either 🤣
Yumm looks like a tasty meal 😋
the nbc anchor at the end ruins every emotion
The new baby probably needs some help surfacing and taking in air. She’s taking the baby on her body, and encouraging this behavior. This may be normal maternal behavior, and not related to the presence of humans.
Happy birthday ! 🙂
MEMO:: please listen. you ‘re all polluting our waters. I, an individual species representative, am communicating w/ you, this one time. Please Stop
Cetacians are sweet creatures. Even the toothed carnivorous species. I once lived and worked in the tiny fishing village of Petersburg located in the heart of Southeast Alaska. I was working for one of the fisheries processing freshly caught Salmon for the frozen market. One afternoon I was out in Wrangel Narrows in a 15 ft. Skiff with a 40 horse outboard. There was a family of four Orcas swimming towards me. I decided to rendezvous with them. There was an adult male, female, and their twin baby calves. My guess is that the calves were 6 months old. I came right up to within feet from them. Up close, these creatures are huge! The male dorsal fin was as tall as a 6ft tall man. When they surface and exhale, it’s loud and sounds like an explosion. There was a man sitting in his tiny dingy with his hat over his eyes not far from shore. He had his fishing pole extended. The two babies snuck up on him and breached like a couple of dolphins on each side of his boat and came down with a giant Splash! The poor fellow nearly fell into the icy water. The youngsters were just being merry pranksters. Then then joined their parents heading north.
This woman’s voice is SOOOOO ANNOYING !!!! Just please keep your F-ing scream to yourself!!!! geezzz 😠
omg indeed
Love animals so much makes me sad when humans intervene with their lives as props to humans”Happiness”…Poor momma whale look at her skin…She seem distress and just want to go somewhere..Good luck baby whale and your journey.Wish you the best❤️
“Grey whales are, well, grey with whitish blotches. They weren’t born with most of those blotches though. The skin—especially around the head, flippers and tail—is home to clusters of round, white barnacles. Up to 400 lbs. of them! And crawling among them are orange whale lice—each about the size of one of our thumbnails. Up to 100,000 lice have been found on a single whale!”
I believe the mother looks like a healthy adult grey whale.
Although I understand 400 grey whales are said to have dies since 2019 due to normal feeding grounds taking a hit from climate change.
Hopefully that helps to understand splotchy aesthetics is naturally part of the species. Thanks
@Jeff Padgett thank you for the info.That gives me a sigh of relief.
seriously we should NOT harm an animal like this for whatever the reason
Maybe she was just teaching it how to surface for air? And didn’t mind that the people were close?
How buetiful to see mum whale and baby whale ,thank you for sharing your stories and vidio 🥰
