This new born sperm whale is at the center of all the attention. The fetal rings (traces of contractions) are still visible and his mother still has remains of embryonic pockets attached to her genital cleft. The female at the bottom of the image is carrying a tag that has just been fixed by the Maubidick 3 mission team (visible on the back, before the caudal fin). This image alone sums up the beauty of these large marine mammals, their evolved social behaviors and the success of the tagging mission to better understand them. Mauritius Island.
