What a sight he was !!! Igaloo hasn't been seen for a couple of years
the worst was thought and there he was with his Mate who looked very dowy
compared to Igaloo,,he knew he was been watched came a bit closer and
put a bit of a act on ,,the sight is beyond words,one Person said it was
better than winning Lottery as we had a big draw,,everyone was clapping
And now he is a Matured boy and with a Mate ,that's a good sign hope to see
a Jnr on their way back.
Just hope those %%#@!%^&* whalers aren't arond ,,if any thing happens to
Igaloo there would be WAR!!!!

Yes Bats - what a wonderful thing to see -

Australian whale watchers cheered this week when Migaloo, the worlds only known albino humpback whale, was spotted off Queensland coast. His iridescent white coloring has attracted tourists and locals since he was first spotted in 1991 passing Byron Bay, Australia's most eastern point. Migaloo is named from one of the languages of the Indigenous Australians ; it means "white fellow."

At one time about 30,000 humpbacks used the migration route past Australia, but Migaloo is now one of only about 11,000 humpbacks who migrate from their feeding ground in Antarctica to different parts of the world each southern winter. At one time in the 1960's the numbers had dwindled to less than 200 individual whales.

Migaloo has been declared a whale of special interest, and special rules have been put in place to keep the tourists flocking to see him at least 1,600 away. Preserving and protecting whales has become an important environmental as well as financial cause.

The trouble is that nobody's told Migaloo and apparently he heads towards the whale watching boats.

Reminds me of the less edifying docu I saw the other day about a 50-foot dead sperm whale that exploded in a Taiwan street a few years back...not a white one. I'd hate to explain to my adjuster just how my front window got broken.

You never know the real story.
