Migaloo is an albino humpback whale, usually sighted along the Australian coast, and occasionally in New Zealand waters. Migaloo was named by the Hervey Bay local aboriginal collective, and it means “white fella”. While several Humpback Whales have been spotted with almost 90% white pigment coverage, Migaloo is the only documented albino.
