Very interesting.A pretty amazing video.
What I find incredible, but completely believable from my own experiences of observing chickens, is the team have been tracking and observing this group of whales for twenty years, 20 years! And, if I've understood correctly, this is the first time they witnessed a whale birth.
That's an awful long time before one witnesses something essential to a species survival. Think what else the team may have learned about communication, family structure, social structure...all from being able and of course wanting to, observe.
Encouraging to see technology being put to good use.

I was just watching something that said whales closest living DNA relative are hippopotamus. They also give birth in water.
