Baby Whale Playtime Gets Dangerous | Spy In The Ocean | BBC Earth
A male humpback whale's courtship strategy can be pretty aggressive, even sometimes resulting in a fight to the death for a potential partner. So this little one has to be under a mother's watchful eye to stay safe.
Spy in the Ocean is available on iPlayer in the UK and will be available on PBS in the US in the autumn.

For those wondering what happened next, it's on BBC iPlayer. The singer fends off his rivals then softens his approach to playing surrogate dad to the calf & protecting his new lil family, hoping that one day the mother will let him mate with her🥹

IT SURVIVES !!!!! its the same clip filmed 5 years ago just voiced by a new guy. Basically the calf gets tired and the mother then becomes more fierce in defence . Because shes bigger and stronger shes then able to get rid of the males.

This is NOT true as I've just watched it on BBC iPlayer. The Singer who is larger scares the rival males away. He then becomes a protector of his new family in the hope of one day mating with the mother!

Baby whale playtime can sometimes turn dangerous due to their sheer size and exuberance. While these playful giants may unintentionally cause harm, it's essential to remember that they are still learning and developing their social skills.
The mother love is so amazing and powerful
What?! I was like what is that creepy dolphin doing there just watching? Now it makes sense 😂😂😂
Wow, I had no idea they had spy dolphins and spy frigate birds. I've heard of experimental drone birds with feathers but didn't know they'd already done it without.

I THINK I FOUND THE ENDING!! "Whale Fights Males to Protect Calf" BBC Earth. It looks like the same footage, but there's a different narrator. The video is less than 3 minutes. Enjoy.
Ever realised how cute those spy bots are ❤
The filming and editing is outstanding
The video showcases both the incredible beauty and the potential risks of marine life interactions. It reminds us of the delicate balance between curiosity and caution when observing wildlife. Watching the baby whale engage in playful behavior is heartwarming and captivating. It's fascinating to see how these magnificent creatures interact with their surroundings and each other.

When David Tennant first said the baby was in danger I was concerned it would be like with lions and some other animals-the males deliberately murder babies to "free the mother of her responsibilities" so she has no excuse not to bang. (Particularly if the baby isn't the male's son.) Hearing Tennant explain that none of the male whales actually intend any harm to the baby and it'd just be an issue of collateral damage was somewhat of a relief, but still! It's not like Momma can put her baby in the crib upstairs and _then_ entertain all these men! She's a whale, there's nowhere safe to keep the baby! Therefore she's off. the. market. But what women want hasn't often stopped men before so I'm glad she managed to chase them away.
That fin slap from mama whale was very satisfying

Looking it up, briefly, it seems like they don't do that, fortunately. Females are larger than males, too. The males, in some areas will fight each other, which is the danger for the calf. Makes fight to escort the female on her journey, and then she'll decide to mate or not. Becoming her one escort is where the brawl happens. Prompted me to reed an interesting publication: "Post-whaling shift in mating tactics in male humpback whales" Basically, being nearly wiped out did change their mating tactics, more physical competition and less singing, but that could be population density increasing or all the older ones were killed and the new adult generation figuring out new strategies that may stabilize...pre whaling or a new era.

yeah what happened there?
When I learned about the animals in nature, I realized that they had to work harder to survive,there are many times when it is very cruel
I had the feeling, that there were too many close ups of Spy Dolphin, Spy-.. "Spy Dolphin is doing this.." "Meanwhile Spy blabla is doing that.." On a technical aspect, sure its fun and impressive but in my point of view in a marine documentation it should be less present.
Amazing video 👏
Amazing! Was wondering why won't someone send a spy "something" into the deep ocean say like the mariana trench to figure out what's going on there and capture the marine life there ?
