All White Killer Whale!

Scientists from the universities of Moscow and St. Petersburg discovered a completely white killer whale off the Kamchatka Peninsula. They named him "Iceberg" and he was swimming along with twelve other regular killer whales. Iceberg is about sixteen years old and has a six and a half foot high dorsal fin. Erich Hoyt has recorded sightings of two other white killer whales but Iceberg is the first full grown specimen seen in the marine reserve. Some scientists hope that Iceberg will make people want to expand marine reserves in the area.
As of now we're not sure why he is all white, but scientist hope he will appear again so they can find out.

Hoyt said "In many ways, Iceberg is a symbol of all that is pure, wild and extraordinarily exciting about what is out there in the ocea waiting to  be discovered."
