Heavily Pregnant Dolphin Can't Hunt | Puck's Story Part 1 | Dolphins of Shark Bay

In the waters of Western Australia is Shark Bay, home to a handful of bottlenose dolphin families. Puck belongs to a family called the Beachies clan, but due to her being heavily pregnant, she can't do the one thing her family is known for: hunt on the shores of the bay.

Natural World: Dolphins of Shark Bay
In a stunning new insight into the lives of wild dolphins, this film follows six remarkable months in the life of the 'Beachies': a family of six dolphins led by mother-to-be Puck who live in the shark-infested waters of Western Australia's Shark Bay. Using the latest miniature camera to eavesdrop on the Beachies' underwater lives, this moving story follows Puck and and the challenges she faces bringing up her newborn calf Samu. From learning to fish, to the ever-present threat of a shark attack, no day is ever the same. Including rarely seen footage of young dolphins and revelatory new behaviour, this is a heart-warming and emotional portrayal of one of the ocean's most revered creatures.
