Title: Incredibly rare WHITE humpback whale spotted off coast of Norway
Post by: Dmitry on November 16, 2012, 12:32:39 PM
A white whale has been causing a splash after being spotted swimming in a pod of humpbacks by a British maritime engineer.
Dan Fisher, 32, was on a boat trip to Svalbard in Norway when he noticed a giant white hump rise from the water.
Rushing up a mast to get a better look, he quickly realised he was witnessing one of nature's rarest sights — a white whale, just like the iconic Moby Dick in the novel by American author Herman Melville.

Thats amazing! I've never seen a white whale before with the exception of a Beluga which is supposed to be that way. Awsome!

When I see something like this, the animals who live thier own lives, I think that they just live not knowing all our human problems, and not inventing ones. The Earth is full of life without us, it was before us and will be after us. And mankind is a parasite...

I just tried to say that usually we see nothing except ourselves :)

Yes, we do. And sometimes it is very wholesome to look around, at least for your own health and feelings.
