One of the world’s largest suspended aquariums and underwater zoos, Dubai Aquarium by Emaar, recently took to Instagram to share the birth of a baby shark in their facility. They also posted a video capturing the ‘magical moment’ of the shark’s birth.
The stunning video captures the rare and miraculous moment of a shark being born at the Dubai Aquarium.
The caption read, “Witnessing a baby shark come to life this morning at our aquarium was such a magical moment.”
It shows a tiny shark emerging from its mother, gliding across the water’s surface.

The video has now crossed over 84,000 views on Instagram and excited social media users jumped in to leave comments. “So wholesome to watch this,” said one Instagram user.
“Amazing and unbelievable,” read another comment.
