- Cite a few facts from the article that tell you how precious Migaloo is to the people of Australia.
- Why is Migaloo known as a 'hypo-pigmented' humpback? is he the only one?
Answers:
1. Migaloo is special because she is the, only documented full white humpback whale, and because he does not make a appearance much. Because Migaloo is the only one.
2. Migaloo, which means 'White Fella' in the indigenous Australian language, was first spotted off Australia's Byron Bay in 1991. He is, also hard to spot and he travels down west, and he sneaks off every phew years. Migaloo is a special interest whale and boats have to stay 500 meters away and planes need to stay 2000 meters from the rare whale if you exeed this rule you will be finded total of 12500$.
3. Migaloo is called the hypo-pigmented' humpback because of Migaloos white skin in his genetics.
Critical Thinking Challenge:Do you think Migaloo's special color helps or hurts him from human predators? Why it could make him more venerable to preditors because of his skin and Migaloos rareness.
