Albino Humpback Whale

Migaloo has been travelling up and down the east coast of Australia for a few years now.
Each winter there is much anxiety about whether he is still alive and much rejoicing when he is sighted yet again.
 
There was also much angst that the Japanese whalers might target him, especially as he does stand out.
It would be interesting to see if a young whale is ever born that is also albino and if it would be possible to confirm that Migaloo was teh ancestor. I'm not sure how albinoism is inherited.
 
How exciting that Migaloo was was seen off the coast of Australia just a few days ago! I hope there are more reported sightings of him very soon.
