Title: A fascinating looking whale Written by: duddy on Oct 14, 2013 (https://biology-forums.com/gallery/47/4_14_10_13_2_33_27.png) (https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=14149) This is Migaloo, the albino white humpback whale. His name is derived from an Aboriginal word that means “white fella.” Migaloo is a favorite for whale watching enthusiasts. He is believed to be the only documented white humpback whale in the world. He was discovered in 1991 and quickly became popular with tourists and locals alike. Since then, sightings have been rare. He migrates from Antarctica to Australia on a yearly basis, and some years he slips by undetected. Most of these photos were taken in 2012 on Migaloo’s return to Antarctica. Comments: What a gorgeous creature. Too bad some fool out there will try to kill it just because they can. What has happened to human decency? Written by: padre on Oct 14, 2013 |
