The appearance of migaro

2011/in June, a white humpback whale appeared near the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. It was born for several weeks and is about 12 feet long (about 3.65 meters). This pure white humpback whale is estimated to be only 10 to 15 in the waters off the east coast of Australia, and the probability is only one in a thousand. Witness Wayne Fens saw humpback whales surface. "This is a lifetime of luck." We were drifting, and suddenly, I saw a little white whale appear on the sea. I couldn't believe my eyes at that time. "

September 20 13, photographer Jenny? Dean filmed a white humpback whale in Edie Bay in northern Queensland, Australia.

It is reported that this humpback whale may be Migalo, which is considered as the only white humpback whale in the world. Migalo is believed to have migrated from Antarctica to the east coast of Australia and arrived in the warm waters of northern Queensland.

Scientists are trying to get DNA samples of Miguel and "Little White Guy" to confirm whether they are related. If it is confirmed that they are indeed "father-son relationship", it will be an extremely rare natural phenomenon.

Megaraton often lives in a lagoon between Cairns and Port Douglas for several weeks. It first appeared this year at around 10: 30 in the morning of June 13, when it was swimming slowly northward with six other whales near Yamba, New South Wales. On the same day, it was reported that another white whale was seen near Wollongong, but this news has not been confirmed.

"Maybe this year we will uncover the mystery of these rare white humpback whales," said Zance Levitt, an underwater photographer at Moby Dick Research Center. Migalo was first discovered in 199 1 year, when it was near Keynes and was considered to be between 3 and 5 years old. In 2004, scientists used its molting samples to determine that it was a male.
