Instead, they experienced what the tour company called "a once in a lifetime" opportunity to watch as a newborn gray whale emerged into the world.

"Many of us thought it may be a shark or predatory event. But no, instead of the end of life, it was the beginning of a new one!" the tour company wrote in a statement on YouTube.
"This is a first for all of us. We've never actually seen it happen," an excited Capt. Gary Brighouse can be heard saying in a video taken just moments after the birth."...
