Albino whale, maaahvelous!

Written By Amanda MacDougall

Recently, a British Maritime engineer named Dan Fisher managed to take a wonderful video of this majestic beast a bit outside of Norway. He was even kind enough to bestow a lovely name to this rare ocean gem, " Willow the whale".

Experts say that Willow likely has a condition, similar to albanism, which causes a lack of pigmentation in the skin of animals. It's actually believed that only two other humpbacks have been observed in the wild with such an all-white and very unique appearance.
