Part 8/10:
In a turn of fate, Behrend and his team witness a legendary moment: a sperm whale gives birth under their watchful eyes. As the animals display protective behaviors around their newborn calf, the crew finds themselves in thrilling but precarious waters—trying to capture the moment while being cautious not to disturb the fragile family.
The expedition reflects on the declining populations of these mammals, largely due to human encroachment on their habitats. While sperm whales have a better chance of survival in the Mediterranean due to fewer predators, monk seals face a grim prognosis, teetering on the edge of extinction.
