En 2023, los colegas de @projectCETI documentaron por primera vez mediante drones, cámaras desde embarcación y subacuáticas, e hidrófonos, el nacimiento de un #cachalote. Después de 2 años de análisis, publican descubrimientos fantásticos de este evento. #Partería ¡Merece hilo!

In July 2023, researchers on a whale watching expedition in the Caribbean Sea encountered an unusual scene: 11 sperm whales clustered tightly at the water’s surface. The animals began to inch closer and closer together in the waters off the island of Dominica, with their attention turned to one individual, until a burst of blood tinted the water. At first, the scientists—part of @ProjectCETI, a nonprofit that studies how sperm whales interact—thought the animal had been attacked. But then they saw a tiny tail pop out of the water. The researchers quickly realized they had in fact observed a group of whales helping a calf take its first breath. Even more fortuitous, they had captured it on video from a drone.

In an unprecedented observation, researchers in Science captured the birth of a sperm whale calf, documenting how 11 whales from two normally separate family groups coordinated closely to support the newborn for hours after its arrival. These findings offer quantitative evidence of direct communal caregiving in cetaceans and suggest that short-term, highly coordinated cooperation during critical moments like birth may play a foundational role in maintaining the complex social structures seen in sperm whale societies.

In July, 2023, researchers happened upon a sperm-whale birth and videotaped the entire event. Today, they released papers chronicling what happened—which suggest that the whales offered the calf’s mother a level of assistance that puts midwifery to shame. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/EAYwGS
