The Humpback Whale: Birth Of A Giant

Channel 5, 7pm, Tuesday

In crystal clear waters off the Pacific coast of Colombia, a newborn humpback whale draws its first breath. The mammal is already an impressive 16 feet long, but the challenges ahead are huge. This unique film follows the first few months as the young whale prepares for one of longest animal migrations on Earth – a 5,000-mile journey to Antarctica, where food is plentiful.
