Rare white humpback whale spotted

Record numbers of humpback whales are on their annual migration up Australia's east coast, including the rare white whale Migaloo, scientists say. Migaloo, whose Aboriginal name means "white fella", is believed to be the only completely white humpback whale in the world. The 14-metre whale was spotted off Heron Island, on Queensland's central coast, by resort staff on a fishing trip. (via)
