About a year ago we told you about Migaloo, the only documented white humpback whale in the world. Unfortunately, the only pictures we had were grainy and taken from a low angle. So just wait until you get a load of these new photos.


Migaloo was first spotted in 1991 along the Queensland coast in Australia. The whale, whose name means "white fella," is protected under Australian law and has gained a following of people eager to share their images of the extraordinary specimen.
