All white Killer Whale Found Near Russia

An all white killer whale was spotted off the coast of Russia in the Pacific Ocean. due to the large white dorsal fin, the whale has been named "Iceberg". The whale is approximately 16 years of age according to scientists. Iceberg is currently living in a pod of 12 other orcas. This is not the first whale to be all white but it is to be this largest and be this old. Scientist hope to find this whale this summer to help determine if the whale is either albino or other reasons for this white color.
