PHOTO IN THE NEWS: Rare White Killer Whale Spotted


PHOTO IN THE NEWS: Rare White Killer Whale Spotted: "A white killer whale—fin pictured here— was recently spotted in Alaska's Aleutian Islands, sending researchers and their ship's crew scrambling for cameras.

'I had heard about this whale, but we had never been able to find it,' said Holly Fearnbach, a research biologist with the National Marine Mammal Laboratory in Seattle who photographed the rarity. 'It was quite neat to find it.'"
