Migaloo - the rare, albino humpback whale

Migaloo is an albino humpback whale that travels up and down the east coast of Australia and who became famous in local media because of its rare, all-white appearance. Migaloo is the only known all-white specimen and is a true albino. First sighted in 1991, the whale was named for an indigenous Australian word for "white fella". To prevent sightseers approaching too close, the Queensland government has created a 1,600-foot (500 meter) exclusion zone around him.
