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.

Wow, thanks for leaving us on a cliffhanger.
😏😕
EXACTLY we need to know e happened 😱😱😱
Ok cool, now, all weekend making scenarios about this. BBC team almost share if baby whale ended filming safe! 😅
WTF😢😮🤨
I let out a loud ass „Bruh“ when the video ended 🤦🏻♂️ why they do that to us 😭
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🥹
That is horrible
nnew stepdad, pog
@@Unregistered.Hypercam.2. If that's your definition of horrible, you do not want to see what happens when a pod of orcas pull up instead of other humpbacks
Wait, really? That sounds too good to be true🥺
@@BTWAIDS pog? Point of Gross?
BBC staff turned into artists! Already seen many other mechanical creatures, but this robot dolphin is just amazing! No doubt they'd produce spy dino robot only if Jurassic park was open!
I thought it was real until I saw the propeller. 😂
@@StLProgressive a small tip (for the next time) is to pay attention to an eye of any (robotic) animals. You'd find a camera there. Good luck!
The mother love is so amazing and powerful
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.
Too bad she can't just slip the bartender a note for help or tell those big bad boys that she preferred girls! Apparently guys of any species think that they're 'da man"...
@@marshawargo7238Check hyenas, or most insects (praying mantises?) for that matter. If you want to anthropomorphise animals, maybe that will make you feel better.
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!
@@ifeyhome oh great! here i was thinking they banged her
Females are bigger than the men? When you say she’s bigger and stronger? Or I misunderstand?
What?! I was like what is that creepy dolphin doing there just watching? Now it makes sense 😂😂😂
Man being a whale is hard
Honestly, being a woman is hard! It’s unbelievable, but when all the other males showed up I just shouted FU**ING MEN!! Because this exact same scenario happened to me this month and it’s frightening. It’s sad to see it happens in all forms of life, men attacking all the time. We just want some dann space is that so hard. Rant over..
Kikiki..
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 humpback whale baby is so cute 😊
Reminds me of my childhood living with my single mom. lol
Wow, that brought up some memories I’d successfully repressed. 🙄😱
Exactly. Men in all forms of life just won’t leave women alone despite being told NO. It’s fucking exhausting!!
@@jessH090😂 poor you. How great that Women are sooo strong and independent 💪🏻✌🏻
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.
Also amazing they have many spy-spies to film all their spy-animals from many different angles
Ever realised how cute those spy bots are ❤
I’m ticked off because why leave us hanging like this ?
The whale got gang raped and the calf sadly died in the progress
the baby survived this was a clip from years ago they just voiced it over again
"She slaps him away." LMAO
GIVE ME THE FULL VIDEOO!! DON'T LEAVE US ON A CLIFFHANGER LIKE THIS!!
REALLY THO…i need to know what the end is…did she escape??
pay for it. and for a caps key
The filming and editing is outstanding
Oh my~ those spies are all collaborating~ awesome!!👍 Thank you for sharing this video~🤗
collaborating? Just watching and filming.
Bruh BBC really out here trolling us with that cliffhanger
You're trolling yourself.
That fin slap from mama whale was very satisfying
How people hunt these magnificent animals! Can’t comprehend 😢
Whales 🐳🐳🐳 are Beautiful 💙
No matter what he's talking about, Tennant is the best narrator!!
The front face a spy,the back bro the actor to perform the crime and avenge
I thought the cub attracted pods of Orcas
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BABY? Also, I can never get used to Tenant sounding Scottish. 😂
I come here every upload to hear the majesty that is the closing theme, nothing compares to the sheer grandeur and wonder of it
short video but see been the macros in this video
@@theddixusa what
Оооо...какие они милые ❤
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.
I love watching the whales breach when I'm in Tahiti.
*Killing the happy weekend vibes kind of feeling* well i clicked on the wrong video on a Friday night. A baby whale is dying and my anxiety is off the scales. Thanks for that 😂😢
The original video is 5 years old, the baby survives! Momma fights off all the men who don't seem to understand the meaning of "enthusiastic consent" smfh
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.
Ahahahaha the spy 😂 Ace Ventura 2 style 😂😂😂
Oh no - we have to wait til October!
Wow. Thanks for leaving us hanging.
Thanks BBC earth 👍
Wow lovelly - amazing thanks ❤
Some much work going into the spies - feeling 007 already!
Jim Carrey: Easy Guys..She's A Mom!
So this is what its like to be watched by aliens
Beautiful ❤❤
Single male: yo babe wanna ditch your anchor!?
Noooo! Cliffhanger!!
Right?!?!?
The dolphin is just there watching the show
Spy dolphins and eagles are so realistic😂
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeey 5 min story and not knowing the end .. your so awesome no1 ever sayed
a big fish amazing
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.
Love it...❤❤
Sheesh, that's a lotta drama.
Did the spy's hydrophones pick up an implosion?
Please do spy gorilla again!!!
Amazing video 👏
so..since the video ends in a cliffhanger we could say that they were left "blue whaled" :D
🐋
WOW
Es muy hermoso y tierno, saludos desde Bolivia 🇧🇴🇧🇴😘
That end...
Estes agentes especiais contratados pela BBC ...são espiões que nos dão uma realidade em forma de suspense ...que nos tira a respiração só de pensar na cria e o que a mãe faz ...para o proteger desta batalha de gigantes! Grande filme...
when there was one male i was like okay this is hard but liveable when the entire gang showed up i was like bro its over
😮 Oh My Gosh ! I need to know what happened next !
Fine...
🇧🇴 Fans n1 👀 bolivia 💯 puntos 👏 amigos saludos cordiales desde Sudamérica Santa Cruz bolivia 🇧🇴 👍 excelente trabajo con el video 📹 👍 💜 👍 😊😅
Umm part 2..????? 🤔
Right?
Not showing us the full video is messed up
Hermosa la creación de Jehová
Ouch! Audio levels!
The baby whale was ultimately eaten by a sole male KRACKEN! And so we’re the others….😕🤷🏾♂️
I don't know why, but it's fell so magical under the sea
It's not.
I thought robotic spy birds wasn't a real thing
Gelungenes Video. Gruss Jürgen 🤠
what if the robot spy creators made a life sized blue whale robot
❤❤❤❤
Where's the rest of the vid? 🤔
Adept
Wheres part 2 of this🤔
🥰😍🥰😍❤️👌
There's more spies than actual creatures in the sea ^_^
Got that right 👍🏾
it has shown me the wonderful journey
Oh come on
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 ?
Its called ocean pressure.
I need to know what happens!
😊😊😊
YOU CANT END IT THERE???
full video please
no
So there may be truth to the old saying that children should be seen & not heard.
What happened in the end??
Well, did the baby make it??
I like the beauty and mystery of the ocean. Recording of nature by BBC is also a record.
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.
Stunning footage, BBC, but thanks for ending on a cliffhanger without telling us where to find the outcome!
Is that David Tennant?
scrolled through the comments to see if his name is mentioned. sounds like him.
So many spy. So did the baby whale survive ? 😢
yeah what happened there?
😃😃
So what happened?
Hello
Nyimak bos
So they have a drone, watching a drone that's watching the 🐋 🐳 's? 😄
hello
Ahem, excuse you, the mother is in danger too. It's she who is being chased by a group of aroused men
is this 3d? looks like 3d assets
Then what happened. Anyone please tell 😢
