if this were the case then ceadeus would have adapted gills too. notice that it has a luminous organ similar to deep sea fish meaning if it goes down pretty deep it would need a lofty size of air to stay down their for any extended period of time and lungs would create too much pressure and buoyancy. the beard puch thing was meerly an explanation for a sightly feature on the beast but it obviously isn't entirely useless but in that regard large live birth still seems dubious. remember as well that the whale shark uses the same means as the white shark but the embyos are no larger than a human baby and the young emerge no larger either.. if ceadeus were to birth i would believe it still isn't like anything mammalian live birth and that the young probably aren't that sizeable either. however in that aspect if the young are small yet live birth seeking protection under the beard seems do-able but not entirely necessary if they can already swim on their own.
