Researcher Kieran Bown traveled to Turks and Caicos early this year hoping to spot some whales. He was lucky to encounter this mother humpback with her calf in the surrounding waters of Big Sand Cay, where the majority of mother humpback whales give birth. According to Bown, “the mother was pushing her Calf out of the water to take its first breaths”. This video shows the magical encounter as the pair swam by him. Credit: YouTube/Kieran Bown
