The sea creature was having a hard time popping out its pups. One chap who is fond of ocean life ran to assist with the birth of six pups.
The man added pressure on the stingray’s body and pushed out the pups. They all slid out seconds after each other.
The chap was unharmed and explained that the mother and pups are okay:
“She was already giving birth when we caught her. We didn’t want to stress her out more and put her back into the water after she had been pulled out. So we went ahead and helped her push all of them out. Mama and babies swam away strongly.”
The TikTok video was shared 170.5K times after the ocean lover posted it two days ago with the caption:
“Helping out wildlife with birthing.”
