More than one white whale


New report that in addition to the famed Migaloo, a full grown adult male albino humpback whale, there is now a calf with the same distinctive coloration, observed in waters not too far away from where Migaloo was swimming.   The tyke white whale was first spotted in 2011, and also this year, according to the article.  Given the rarity and the proximity, I'd say that the odds are good that Miggy is the father.

Rare white whale spotted, and an albino calf too

What gets me about this article is that Migaloo has been observed since 1991.

And according to this article, Migaloo was observed in an apparently romantic quest, which lends circumstantial evidence to the paternity case.
