SUMMARY
Photographer Alexander Forrest has captured what is believed to be the first-ever drone footage of a humpback whale giving birth. While documenting migrating whales off the coast of New South Wales, Australia, Forrest observed a lone adult whale behaving unusually. He recorded the moment the whale surfaced to deliver its calf, an event he described as "extraordinary" with his adrenaline "through the roof."
