- In light of the recent press regarding this shark, I'm releasing some select footage of this encounter that occurred off on July 9th, 2023. I have over 18 minutes of footage of this little creature. You can read the corresponding research paper in the scientific journal, Environmental Biology of Fishes. The link is below.

I believe the highest likelihood the images in this video shows a newborn shark. While determining the exact age of the shark is nearly impossible, there are several key observations that support this being a newborn.
The shape of the fins, especially the dorsal fin is a major clue. The size of the shark, approximately 1.5m long, & the white membrane like material sloughing off. The paper suggests this is a uterine milk coating still adhered to the sharks body.
The appearance of the shark looks nearly identical to known deceased neonates in the record.
While the shark is unique, we proposed a skin disorder could also be the explanation for the unique white coating that is sloughing off. However, this explanation does not take into account the unique sharks morphology. Specifically the round fins and most vital, the round dorsal fin. When compared to existing images of deceased neonates on record, the dorsal fin matches up precisely.

Thanks❣️
Just finished reading - fascinating! Congratulations on now being published - and this amazing video! 🤗💙
Many congratulations Carlos, not only on your remarkable and wonderful footage, but also on a scientific first … proving that you don’t need to have a PhD to make significant scientific contributions . Great that you also involved Phil Sternes. Cheers Phil
Congratulations!
Very much appreciate that you linked the document! Thank you.
This is legitimately the most important marine biology video shot since the first live giant squid feeding nearly 20 years ago. Absolutely incredible man.
Where is that live giant quid feeding video.
And yet it truly had no contribution to anything.
Amazing? Yeah. Most important? I don’t know about that.
@@charliekill88 We know nothing about Great Whites life cycle, this is EXTREMELY important

The shark even moves like it's just learning how its body moves! Like it's never touched the surface and it gets startled. I'm in awe.
Kinda sad to think that they have to survive alone from birth. No mother or father would teach them anything. They will be alone in the vast ocean till the day they die...but that also makes me realize how powerful and succesful they are.
Amazing, isn't it.
I’ve watched this over and over already. I’m enthralled. It’s so beautiful. You can see how soft it is. So new and shiny. I’m sitting here imagining all the adventures it will hopefully have. All the trials and tribulations. All the prey it will eat. And all the ones that get away. My hope is this baby has a very long, happy and healthy life and that more human beings will live harmoniously with these graceful and powerful apex predators and protect them as much as we can. Utterly captivating. Thank you so much.
Almost translucent.
A wonderful post, you managed to get into words my feelings and my thoughts whilst watching this superb video, thank you.
This comment is one of the nicest ones I've seen on a video. You put it perfectly . My hope is the same as yours❤
It's fins are all mushy and floppy==like a puppy's ears and feet.
❤💯
Your work is crucial to the understanding of one of the most important apex predators on our planet. Thank you.
Is the great white really an apex predator when orcas perform acts of predation on them ?
Word
Great white is an apex predator? I thought orcas predate on them?
Yes, crucial! It will save the world by stopping all wars and starvation. It will prevent oceans being polluted and people suiciding. The list goes on. It is soooo important!
@@aflaz171 you’re trying to sound smart but failed to read correctly the comment which clearly states that this video is crucial “for the understanding of these sharks”. Keep your negativity to yourself as it certainly isn’t going to solve all of the problems you mentioned.
The first thing I noticed was how rounded the tips of the fins are on the newborn.
So grateful for your work and for sharing this monumental footage!!
Just read about this in The Telegraph newspaper in the UK. I was so happy to see it was you that found and filmed this momentous event, a world first no less. I’ve watched your channel for ages and love that you were the one to find this! Massive congratulations to you!👏👏🎉🎉
Me too! Finally getting the acclaim he deserves!
Fascinating how in the history of the world this is the first time seeing this miracle. Nature continues to amaze me more each day!! Blessings always Little shark!!
Such a little cutie! @@carleemburch8531
I am simply speechless Carlos! I have waited a long time for these recordings and it was more than worth it. Congratulations!!!
Was so excited when I saw you mentioned on the BBC News! Congrats!!
I can't believe I'm seeing this. I have loved sharks and learning about them my entire life, I have never ever seen anything like this. If that's not a new born great white shark then there has to be something else going on! It even looks wrinkly! Amazing... Thank you so much for what you do and allowing us to witness this with you!
This is one of the most beautiful and moving things I’ve ever seen. I’m literally crying with delight. Congrats for documenting such an incredible baby and thank you for the work you do to make my favorite animal more respected and understood.

Chances are against him. We humans murder more than 11,416 sharks worldwide every hour.
In total, the global shark population has reportedly decreased more than 70% in the last 50 years, a further troubling trend.
Think about it, 100 Million sharks killed a year and we may not see any longuer some of these majestic creatures in the next 15-30 years

All babies are not precious....since nature dictates that most get eaten and die.
Awesome footage as always Carlos. 🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈
After reading the article, I believe this is 100% a newborn white shark. Everything adds up. The large females showing up there at that time of year, the fact that this was seen at the (suggested) time they come there to give birth, and the fact that you can see normal pigmentation under that white material covering that shark. I also read in one of my shark books, that in the summer of 1955, a helicopter spotted what appeared to be multiple baby white sharks (I think it said off California) swimming around not too far from a nearby pier.
I remember the baby shark I saw off the coast of Laguna Beach, California almost ten years ago. I'm still in awe and feel so privileged to witness such a majestic creature even though it was probably an infant at the time.
I saw you interviewed on BBC news today. As soon as I saw the clip of the birthing I knew it was from your teaser a couple months ago.
Glad to finally see more :)
Amazing!! Thank you for your commitment to these beautiful animals. Keep up the great work
OMG, it's truly a surprising and heartwarming scene to witness this little creature curiously exploring the world.
I appreciate your patience and ongoing efforts. I hope your discovery can inspire more people to pay attention to and understand great white sharks. They are more delicate than many people realize. It's crucial for humanity to respect the environments in which all creatures live and cease the malicious stigmatization of sharks.
oh mein Gott! Wundervoll Charles das Dir das gelungen ist! Ich habe es zuerst auf BBC gesehen und möchte Dir von Herzen >Gratulieren und auch danken für all deine Bemühungen uns immer wieder Fantastische Videos zu Zeigen von diesen so wunderschönen Weissen Haien!Thank you
I've been waiting for this one and figured you brought in some scientists to assist you in breaking down what you spotted that day. Imagine, your interest for sharks and drones have brought you to what might be the most important discovery connected to the great white shark in I don't know how long.
Absolutely amazing dude, happy for you and hopefully future research will credit you. Look forward to more content as always!
THIS IS SO CUTE! Great footage!!
Amazing work as always Malibu Artist. You are furthering knowledge of this magnificent creature.
Thank you very much!
Your interview was shown on our national news in the uk. I so enjoy watching all of your videos and I have been following your channel from the start. Your films have such a calming effect, as well as being super informative and enthralling. Keep up the good work. 👌
Man i delivered my son and my 2nd daughter, and let me tell you with tears in my eyes and choke in my throat, that is a newby, it even still had the white slimy fuzzy stuff. Made me proud for the mama.
A big BIG congratulations and great job to you Malibu! I never thought you would achieve this but I’m so glad you did! Your catch and video will go down in history as the first ever footage of a highly likely newborn Great White Shark.
This may be my new favorite video done by you. Which is hard to choose because I love your videos so much already.
I just watched BBC News and I recognized the cute baby shark on there! Such a fantastic video, as always. Thank you 🤩
Hey! Just got my copy of National Geographic. I was thrilled to see that article about this, and thinking yay I saw that way back !! So cool. It's amazing to see. I read the paper too and although it could be a random white shark with a skin condition, I've never seen or read of any that looked like this. Plus the normal looking skin underneath. But as I remember the original video posted, wasn't there a large female that dove down rapidly not long before this small white shark showed up flaking off the "vernix" like coating? The paper made it seem like these events were further apart. If events were like it was presented in the original YT video I saw, I'm voting new baby great white.
Now this right here....could be why they're named Great WHITE Shark". This little girl hasn't even had her first sun tan....she is almost tasting the new air and water around her, checking out her new surroundings, and hoping Mom isn't anywhere NEAR.
They're named white sharks because of a different reason.
@@andyfriederichsen I know why they are named white sharks.
This footage was taken last year, but what time of year Carlos? Birthing season is thought to be Spring (late) and Summer (early) so this was between April and June of 2023 as you were with Phillip Sternes filming this.
Fascinating footage that has some people still in an uproar....I love it.
It was on July 9 2023.
Welcome to the world little one!🦈
Thanks so much for the work you do and for sharing it with all of us. Just watched your interview on the BBC. You were very articulate.
so amazing. Happy it was you that made the video. thumbs up for your hard work and passion.
Well done! Truly, an amazing shot and data point in learning more about this beautiful 🦈. Keep it up!
Congratulations on witnessing and filming this miraculous footage!
He’s absolutely breathtaking. Wishing him a long and healthy life. 🩵🩵🩵
Congratulations - this is such an amazing story - I saw it in the news and was thrilled to see you were a part of documenting this baby great white. Thank you for all you do!
Thank you so much!
OMG, that is amazing footage, not only is it a new born shark but a new born great white, beautiful
OMG, Carlos! You’re internationally famous! (Just watched the BBC clip!). And to think we knew you when… 😉You’re a wonderful shark advocate! 🤗💙
That is amazing!
I have come to really appreciate these creatures. I used to think sharks were mindless eating machines. Now I see them as beautiful creatures that we share this world with.
That would be us humans as the mindless eating machines.
Well, in all fairness, sharks ARE mindless eating machines....but they are beautiful creatures as well.
As one famous, completely fictional marine biologist said about sharks:
"What we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, an eating machine. It's really a miracle of evolution. All this machine does is swim and eat and make little sharks, and that's all."
congrats bro! So happy to see this finally be revealed. what an amazing encounter.
Watcher Joe! (From the Brit "Guvnor" who dived with you in Fiji & Guadalupe island a few years ago). Carlos's hard work & dedication paying off now with this spectacular item & interview shown here in the UK's BBC News tonight. Got to dig out now my footage while snorkelling alone in the Tubbaha Reefs in the Philippines of being approached then bumped in the chest by a juvenile whale shark, but must brush up on my interview skills for the BBC first!
You made it into the newspapers with this story, I read it earlier today! Well done, this is incredible footage. 🙂
Carlos! You made the BBC! I’m so proud of you and proud to be a member 🩵🩵🩵🦈🦈🦈
Saw you in the news just now!! I knew it had to be you before I even saw the name. You’re incredible and the work you’re doing is so important!
Im well happy you caught this footage,been subbed to you for a long time and your work with these sharks is amazing.this has hit the news channels in the uk i hope your channel blows up,keep posting incredible content
Great work! Your persistence and passion have paid off for the entire scientific community!
His work will provide the cure for cancer! Amazing!
I’ve been watching you for years. So glad you’re getting the recognition and subscribers you deserve for your amazing videos and work😊
Thank you so much!!
Wow!
This made history! Congrats!
Congratulations every scientist, marine biologist, news channels are talking about this! Awesome job!
I saw an article about this and had no idea it was from you, I should have guessed! Congratulations on the awesome shots and increased exposure for your channel.
Mind blowing, such incredible footage thank you !
I read this as a headline on a large european online newspaper and thought "this got to be themalibuartist" and sure, it was you! Im so happy for you that you made this and got lucky with such an incredible find! Congratulations! What a beauty!
Had a feeling awhile ago because you put in the hard work and the long hours, plus your deep passion that you were on track to catch something extraordinary and phenomenal that perhaps hadn't been captured before.
Happy to see this possibly is now fulfilled.
To me it looks like a pup.
Hopefully this is the beginning of new information and answers. There's so much we still need to learn.
Congratulations
🎉❤
Just saw a news article about this vid & had to come see it for myself! I'm sad I didn't get a notif when it was uploaded. Well done!
This is a amazing video..congrats to you for being able to capture this moment !
One of the most incredible things I've ever seen. I also have seen the video you took of the female white shark giving birth and that was also so amazing and awesome. The work you do is not only breathtakingly beautiful, it is groundbreaking science as well. Congratulations again!! Such fascinating animals. Thank you for sharing with the world.
Where is the video of the actual birth?
I just saw this in my newsfeed on the good news app and crossed my fingers hoping it was you. Well done, I'm excited for you! I've always loved your work and this is such an important find.
So excited to see you making the news!
I read about this & saw some photos. Lovely to see it moving. Your drone footage is amazing as always 😍
Wow Carlos! As a fellow droner & diver I've just seen your post & interview on the BBC News here in the UK of the new born great white. Spectacular! As a long time subscriber I say keep up the good work as an advocate for sharks, this'll send your subscriptions soaring! Now where's my GoPro footage of being approached & bumped in the chest by a juvenile whale shark whilst snorkelling alone in the Tubbataha Reefs, Philippines?
This is absolutely amazing! We’re lucky to have you making content!
Beautiful!!! Never clicked so fast👍Hopefully it’ll live a long and healthy life.
This is breathtaking. Major kudos for your remarkable footage and important research paper. But most especially, THANK YOU for your contributions to safeguarding these important animals. ❤

I saw the images on a Facebook page and I knew they had to be yours! Awesome work
Congratulations and thank you TheMalibuArtist. This is a great moment of natural history! So glad to learn that it was you.
You just made the BBC news at 10 here in the UK 👏
Absolutely incredible, so happy it was you who got this first footage, fantastic stuff & well deserved 🎉🦈
Absolutely stunning footage. It looks so serene. I could watch it for hours. Congratulations on the paper. Such important work. Great to see this aspect of the White Shark instead of the horror stories that dominate the media.
I saw the BBC World News picked up your video. Congrats!!! Thank you for your important and beautiful work. Keep it up!👍
Congratulations Carlos on your first authored research paper, how exciting & so valuable! And a deserved validation for all you've contributed, esp your extraordinary filming via drone expertise & finding these sharks. I see this was featured on BBC News. 🎉 ( I'm in Vancouver, no doubt it will be breaking news around the globe)
Amazing! Just saw a news story about this on the bbc and my first thought was this has to be TheMalibuArtist and sure enough...
You should be so proud of this, I love your videos and the passion you put towards these ancient animals. It's truly captivating, the nuance in which they behave that we so rarely see.
Congrats on catching this footage, Carlos! Amazing 🤩
beautiful video as always. thank you for the link to the paper
Just saw you on BBC news! This is amazing!
A truly amazing discovery. Congrats on finding this precious little baby.
Thank you for this incredible contribution to science and conservation, Carlos and Phill!
I enjoyed the video of the newborn white shark on TV last night. I live in Denver, Colorado and watch 9 News.Thank You for sharing your fabulous footage!
Thank you very much for posting this video. What a find.
Some scientist was skeptical about this video, saying it could have a skin condition, but it just looks newborn, the colouration, the way it moves, the size.
It almost brought a tear to my eye, i never quite thought i would ever potentially witness a newborn great white, it is absolutely beautiful. 🦈❤️
Yup.
You made the BBC News here again. At this rate you are going to have a visit from the main man David Attenborough himself.
A very hearty congratulations to you for this astounding footage! Glad you're getting some well-deserved credit for all your work and dedication!
Many thanks!
Can honestly say this is the most fascinating, exciting, hopeful & just amazing video clip I've seen. We're beginning to learn so much from these top predators of the sea. My dream is to one day in the near future travel to Australia and see these beauties in the flesh. 🦈🦈🦈
What does this bring hope to?
@@betooo331 sorry for the late reply. Because there’s so much we don’t know about the great whites. This footage is the first of its kind.. to see a brand new shiny newborn come straight to the surface after just being born. It gives us insight & hope in finding out so many things about these majestic creatures that we have yet to find out.
That’s absolutely breathtaking!
This channel actually helps with shark conservation. Swimming with, pretending they are friends, and petting them does not (like Ramsey, Adriana, mermaid “shark girls”)
Cool stuff. Glad I found your channel.
Saw you on the news uk today m8 love the work
I’ve been watching your channel for many months, so it was crazy to see you on the BBC 10 o’clock news just now!
Fantastic, truly remarkable! ❤
Thank you for this incredible capture. I'm wondering where the link is for the paper you mentioned.
It's pinned on the top.
As a student hoping to get their marine biology degree this is absolutely inspiring. this video has potentially unlocked the key of solving one of the greatest mysteries about great white sharks, where they give birth, which is absolutely crucial for the conservation.
Well....um, it's not a mystery....we already knew for decades that they gave birth in this area of Southern California. The Southern California Bight area has long been known as a great white nursery.
This video did not really "unlock" that incontrovertible fact or solve a "great mystery" that is not in fact a mystery, but a well known scientific discovery.
But it certainly is amazing footage that is wonderful to see and completely new.
You are actually very right a lot of my older books don’t have a lot of relevant information so I just assumed it like the old saying says when you assume you make an ass out of you and me but still very incredible footage though
@@8bit-ld2mk
Well you can always get a ton of research material that is new and updated on the internet. Tons of GWS resources there and for marine bio in general.
Kudos to you for continuing this passionate "work" - though we all know and appreciate it is indeed work, time and patience, but from every shot we know you enjoy it. I saw this on some national news and it already hit the Yahoo! homepage, great to see you getting recognized for your key work in protecting and understanding these amazing sea animals. Probably the cutest shark ever haha, I have no problem saying that. Even it's movements are young, but still so elegant in the water.
Congrats Carlos. You made it BBC News. Well deserved.
