In the world, there exists a multitude of puzzles related to whales. One of the most enigmatic aspects concerning these creatures is the rarity of recorded births of blue whales. Before humans started whaling, blue whales were common in the world's oceans, with their numbers estimated in the hundreds of thousands of individuals. Despite their historical population and ability to reproduce, in the history of mankind, only two cases of blue whale births have been recorded, both occurring decades ago. A third case has now been confirmed, as reported by researchers from the University of Michigan. And to this day, despite the pressures on the surrounding environment, the number of blue whales, the largest animals on the planet, continues to occupy scientists in 'Science'. These observations should draw attention to their enigmatic behavior.
