In US news and current events today, the Shedd Aquarium Chicago welcomed a new baby whale calf as Bella the beluga whale gave birth to a beluga whale calf in front of overjoyed onlookers. The baby whale, adorable as it may be, is a baby whale birth celebration, and as the beluga whale birth population grows at the Shedd Aquarium, we hope they will continue to celebrate more whale giving birth and whale calf birth in the future.

Its amazing how the baby swam straight to the surface to take its first breaths. Instincts are an incredible thing.
I’ve always found it so interesting that us mammals know exactly what to do when we’re born. We’re like an NPC following a script, unaware of what we’re doing or why we’re doing it
I'm convinced there's an advanced intelligence somewhere in our oceans.
A genius creation from God!
@@jeffarem very true, it takes more faith to believe in no God than to believe in one, how can all of this just be by chance? I mean even the universe, if certain elements were out of balance by just less than 1% the universe wouldn't be. But instead everything is perfectly balanced in design.
@@Chartail1 baseless argument
I love how even while giving birth, belugas are smiling.
And humans are such cry babies while giving birth
They aren’t actually smiling /does not equate to being happy dolphins are the same. I learnt this through reading books and documentaries on dolphins in captivity especially ones trained for shows, people would always say how happy the dolphins looked to be preforming but in reality that’s just how their mouths are structured not necessarily because they are smiling. Still such adorable cute creates ❤
@@bluelemonade277 well looked like they are smiling
man beluga whales deserve to give birth out in the open free sea
@@MelB868 If women also smile while giving birth this world would be a better place
She pushed her last push when she was head down, so baby wouldn’t have to swim farther for that first breath ❤❤❤ love these creatures! That maternal instinct is strong!
So amazing how the baby just knew to go to the top to take its first breath! 😩🥰❤️
Yes, the way God designed animals to have this instinct is incredible. Even babies will kinda crawl and root for a breast to get milk, which to me is crazy, since babies are fed through the umbilical cord!
@@anneshirley9560 or maybe billions of years of evolution
@@TFLUFFY. Creation proves that there is a Creator.
@@anneshirley9560 that is her mom
@@anneshirley9560 what created the creator? 👀
Belugas make me feel happy just looking at them. Mazel tov.
Would have been better in nature... Poor thing gave birth in a concrete whale jail... :(
Me too
How about the children dying in palestine how does that make you feel , animal
How is that related
Just remember that beluga is a prisoner and so is it's child.
It’s nice to have something so pure and beautiful in a time where nothing is certain anymore.
@Kristina yeah I swear none of the people understand how cruel it is to keep marine mammals in captivity
I totally agree.
@@jamesparra2821 Yes, it hurts!😭💔
Pure? The thing is living in a bathtub. This is vile and sick
Learn about education… and kids can see them in person besides educating yourself to why ppl have them there. There are evil ppl who are hunters and kill them. That’s why ppl like them save them. And no their tanks are actually big. Learn before you assume
was it just me or did mom flip her bottom half up to the surface so the baby could get air because they were coming out head first? this is the first head-first birth video I've seen so that was FASCINATING
That’s what I thought happened but I never seen this before the blood scared me
@@DeJahModenah man it’s just afterbirth, completely normal in every mammal
I was wondering the same thing
Definitely what it looked like!!! 😬🥰
Births are usually headfirst in mammals. If the legs come out first it's called a breach birth and that's very dangerous for both a baby and the mother. Some midwives know how to massage the woman's pregnant belly in order to turn the baby around so it's headfirst at the time of birth.
Born a captive.
What a world.
instinctively knows how to go up for breathing. interesting.
Huh yes if you have a human baby how does it know to breathe
@@WiseApple618 Bro come one he meant that it knows that it needs to go up for breathe out of instinct, human babies have the luxury of being born with air around them and even having the luxury to have air pumped into them to help breathe, though sadly they don't always take their first breath...
N Xarigow It’s called instincts
@N Xarigow just like human babies know how to move their diaphragm to breath, whales know that up means air and air makes me live.
I am me ツ:
Autonomic Nervous System.
I honestly think Belugas, dolphins, and orcas should not be in tanks. It's literally a bathtub to them.
Agreed
VoicelessToybonnie oh hi didn’t notice you were here
But some of these animals have some limitations and conditions that could kill them in the wild
And if they don’t they probably already used to getting hand fed and so they can’t hunt on their own therefore dying of hunger and people like killing these animals in the wild so they’re better here than in the wild in some cases
But I do have to agree that some aquariums just take some of the wild and that is sad
And as for the baby we saw here he/she will probably never be released since she was born in the aquarium
Brent Bedra well sure, for the ones that are unable to survive that is justified i suppose, but it’s not fair to the ones that are just there for grins and giggles.
@@refrweerf NANI?!
It's amazing how intuitive animals are, even right from birth.
Fun fact, compared to animals humans are essentially "premature" when they're born, the reason is because if humans developed anymore their huge heads for their big brains would be impossible for a human female to pass through
They dont got legs so theres not much choice
Some babies don't cry at birth.
@@fynkozari9271 Those are the tough babies, 💪
@@yin8079that makes no sense
At least the little guy seems healthy.
Was able to get out, swim, and take a breath all on its own
Human birth:
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHN IM GONNA DIE.
Belluga whale birth:
*happy smile*
Spoken like a dude.😂
@@nadogrl 💀
@Malik, She kept swimming over to the glass going, "where's my epidural." 🙃
According to Genesis chapter in the bible, women's birth pain is punishment for her disobedience
@@minhchaubuingoc8384 Nobody asked for Christian mythology...
She's a beautiful mommy 🙂
It's as though she knew the humans were waiting to greet her beautiful baby to the world!
That was wonderful to see and I'll bet spectacular to witness in person!
Take care & stay safe everyone!
To be born into captivity, how heartbreaking. 💔
I was looking for a comment with someone saying this. Most of these people are oblivious. So sad.
Born in captivity. What a life it will have 🎉
😢
😪
Woman are incredible. Life bearers, the very first point of contact between an infant and the world. All life comes from the centre of womanhood, the womb. Really awe inspiring. Mammals across the world having babies under insane conditions and then getting right back to swimming/walking or in humans case, work
D'aww! Congrats, Bella! What a cutie-pie! Beluga whales are just too darn cute at any age!
What a precious little baby! Good job, mama!
I hope they can stay together...
kinda sad. like a human giving birth in a boat that will never touch shore and never encounter other life
What its just giving birth
It's so cute how the baby would surface many times, not spending much time underwater at all. It was always taking gulps of breath! Marine life is wonderful, but the mammals are definitely my favourite. Hope her baby grows up healthy!
What a cute face popping out of mom!
Belugas are lovely and cute whales and also incredibly intelligent.
Aww Wouldn't life be so much better if everyone just watched this. So cute.
❤❤❤❤
Yes!😭💔
Yes and not have the first instinct be let's eat it.
Wait so this is fine, but when *I* watch from the hospital window...
@@memelurd7341 😂😂
She is sooo cuteeee 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
This whole universe feels like someone carefully handcrafted everything but was careful not to let us know
An artist you have to search for to find and admire.
But everything has been told to us. If one is really ready to understand.
@ BLOODKINGZ, someone had indeed carefully handcrafted everything and has let us know. You will find undeniable evidence in the Torah, the Gospel or the Qur'an if you care to search for it. I would look in the Qur'an because it seems more natural, more logical, more relatable and more cohesive, at least based on what I have discovered so far in my recent journey to seek the truth. Try to be open minded enough to disregard the unjustified demonization of the great book by the majority of the world.
That artist is the Almighty God no other one because except Him no one could understand how such living systems are functioning soo efficiently without a single reported mishap That only Almighty knows no other
@@kutajdubey i mean there have been plenty of mishaps and mass extinctions
It’s so adorable when the baby comes out of the mother with the head!
There still so endearing while giving birth such precious mammals
It still amazes me every time how animals can dang near swim or walk instantly at birth. The fact it knows to immediately go up and take a breath
Another beautiful creature in this world. Well done beluga momma 😍😍😍
They are both so beautiful, but this is also so sad!
Oh my, a miracle. I hope the baby survived!
How lovely to see new life... What an amazing privilege...❤️❤️❤️
Qué bello! Qué paz! Qué maravilla!
🐳🐬🐋
A beautiful gift to be able to witness that.
Congratulations to Bella and her beautiful baby😊💕
Awww
So precious, what a beautiful creature.
Beautifull. It happens everyday and we miss it every time.
How beautiful, she brought tears of joy to my eyes ❤
I was in tears so lovely to watch cubby little baby 💕
I find it amazing how the baby knows how to swim and that it know where to go to breath within seconds being born
Lol didn't think I'd get 100 likes
When you see that you know that there is a god who teatch how to do that .Allah is the one god
@@kacembenjalel9206 no, it's inherented instinct .... evolution is the one and only answer
@@kacembenjalel9206 You believe Allah went to heaven on a winged horse😂
@@abel3557 islam is the true religion,everyone know that, go and learn my friend
@@kacembenjalel9206 religion is just an idea and nothing more, if you believe in it i respect that but respect the rest of us by keep your religion to yourself and don't impose it onto others
È un momento emozionante vedere una nuova vita
Beluga whales are such beautiful creatures.
Amazing sight! It’s like mama wanted to be near her people when she gave birth! Wishing mama & baby a long, happy life. ❤❤❤❤
As being a prisoner, she had no other choice anyway 😒
This is so lovely. Seeing baby's head pop out is just wonderful. ❤️
How beautiful...❤️
Thank you so much how special was that! Kids were amazed
I honestly hold my breath and say 'PUSH' while watching this. What a beautiful baby and mama!
Toujours un vrai moment de bonheur vive la vie!!!❤❤❤❤❤🇨🇵
It’s amazing they know they have to go up for it to breath… aren’t they so beautiful.. playful too …
They have such good body control in the water. Like helicopters; up, down, forward, backward, hover.
Giving birth to another kind hearted one!😘
Omg! She is stunning! Mothers are incredible. ❤️
ANIMAL MOTHERS!!!🙏❤
Belugas are too precious for this world 🌎
BEAUTIFUL, GLORIOUS!!🙏❤😭
The wonderful miracle of birth, what a lovely baby!😀
Cuteness overload!
That isn't amazing and precious. 🥰
It's such an honor to see things that otherwise I wouldn't have been able to.
2seconds old and already swimming better than I can ever dream of 😂
They look Beautiful
A miracle, bravo baby beluga! 🔥🔥🔥
Beautiful, new life in our broken world.
More magical than Disney,.. definitely adorable
ohh myyy goddd i hv never seen anything like that ,aww so beautiful 🥺♥️
OMGoodness! How Precious! Wish it was free.😍
That's mental!!! Amazing ♥️
It's interesting to note that whales are ungulates, like horses, giraffes, rhinos, etc.
Ungulate babies can walk (swim) almost immediately after birth.
(They also have multiple stomachs, and are color blind, among other commin traits!)
Beautiful. Definitely looks easier than a human birth. She did it without any physical assistance.
How amazing! Truly beautiful.
Simply BEAUTIFUL & PRECIOUS.
♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏
The beluga whales 🐋 are so pretty,quite beautiful actually. Its fascinating too watch bella give birth too her baby
I always thought whales gave birth to their babies tail first, that way the baby wouldn't drown, trying to make its way out of the mother's body. It was surprising to see this one coming out head first, but also very relieving that it was born so quickly.
They usually are- but is some rare cases they are born head first.
That was beautiful!💗
Good job mama thanks for sharing this incredible footage 💙
This was so beautiful to watch! Thanks ❤❤
What an absolutely beautiful animal,another of nature's miracles
Beautiful! Thanks for this
Why has this made me cry?
The momma made it look so easy. She's a Champ!
So cute!
So beautiful!!
O Mai Gawd !!!
Dat Yeese Imcradeebawl !!!
Wow! 😲 A once in a lifetime experience & opportunity to witness a unique & precious 💞 moment of a
Beluga whale 🐋 giving birth to her new baby offspring, is truly special &
precious.
What a beautiful 😍 awesome &
miraculous creation of GOD.
Pregnant whales are so adorable ☺️
This was so adorable ❤️❤️❤️ thanks for allowing us to see this wonderful birth
beautiful...thank you for sharing this
Beluga Whale are so beautiful!
Just born and still so cute!
Man, I’d hate to be born in captivity.
Why?
its endangered
Better than being born and risk being eaten by killer whales or great white sharks or as an adult being hunted by humans
You are in captivity. Everyday you live your life the way society and culture dictate you. You go to school because you are required to. You learn things because you are taught so. You use gadgets because people sold it to you. We are all captives.
Yee. Free food, no predators, free wet.
*I'd hate to*
This was something special to witness ❤
Beautiful! Belugas are so cute!
That was incredible!!
Yayyy!! The miracle of birth is always so exciting & emotional for me. What an incredible event to witness. So beautiful!❤❤❤❤❤
This is fascinating to see. We all hope that these two are in good condition. They all seem to be enjoying the moment simultaneously.
Beautiful... amazing, but sad also.......
Born in captivity....
That was so BEAUTIFUL,I LOVE animals far more than "people"
The thumbnail "🗿" , amazing video btw 😁
Poor thing is in an aquarium
The last baby didn't make it.
Notice how mum dove towards the bottom so baby is facing upwards . Baby will go to the surface for air not disoriented. Nature is amazing.
Sad, intelligent animals like these should not be born in captivity 😔😔
:(
Agreed 💯
Totally agree 😢
I KNOW!😭💔
This Aquarium is accredited. All the animals are cared for very well at all accredited zoos and Oceaneriums.
Fellow mammals ❤️
