En juillet 2023, au large de la Dominique, une équipe de scientifiques a observé la naissance rare d'un cachalot sauvage. L'événement, rendu public en mars 2026, a été documenté par le projet CETI grâce à des images de drone et des enregistrements sonores sous-marins. Les chercheurs ont observé un groupe de onze cachalots, dont une femelle nommée Rounder, donnant naissance à son petit. Pendant la mise bas, les autres femelles ont manifesté un comportement d'entraide, soutenant Rounder et maintenant le nouveau-né à la surface de l'eau pour l'aider à respirer. Cette observation révèle un comportement social complexe et une adaptation à la vie marine chez les cachalots.
