      To put it in very simple terms (sorry for putting in doubt those animals "morality") they should know they cannot mate with a female in labor and perhaps they have some notion of how important it is to keep the species. Unfortunately there are many dangers in the ocean (which the mother and the calf will have to face alone).

    Still have old NatGeo DVD about blue whales where the mama lets the cameraman play with her calf. The wonder of it.

      You didn’t see the continuation when she was swimming with a calf several days later, and (same? another?) group of males started to harass her again even though it was clear she was a new mom.
      What worries me is that she is alone on this voyage. I supposed she might have her mom or auntie travelling with her to help.

    My husband and I went whale watching today in HI. We saw plenty of moms teaching their babies, preparing them for the long journey back. They're here for about 6 months and there is no food source for them. The moms lose about 1/3 of their body weight and the babies nurse. This was beautiful to watch as there's only so much you can see from the surface.

    Watching a humpback whale give birth was one of the most incredible experiences I’ve ever had. Seeing the mother so gently guide her newborn calf to the surface for its very first breath felt like witnessing a miracle. It was a deeply moving reminder of just how delicate and powerful life can be, especially in the vast, mysterious world beneath the waves. Moments like this stay with you forever, a reminder of nature’s profound beauty.

    I saw a video of a dolphin give birth in the wild. It was almost magical and made me tear up. When I was pregnant with my daughter I would always watch animals give birth instead of those shows on TLC of different women and their birthing experiences. Watching the animals helped me with my anxiety of giving birth and helped keep my mind calm and helped me to not worry about the what ifs.
