A mostly white #humpback #whale #calf has been spotted swimming off the coast of #CabaritaBeach & about 100 kilometres north at #Minjerribah on #StradbrokeIsland the following day. It is thought that this is a leucistic whale, which still have some pigment and normal dark eyes, unlike albino whales that are completely white and have pink or reddish eyes. #auspol #cetaceans #HumpbackWhale
