Australia's favorite White hump back whale makes a rear appearance.



The white whale

Article Comprehension:
  1. What is so special about Migaloo? Migaloo has been given an aboriginal name because he is a very different to all the other whales because of his skin and he has a special status.
  2. Cite a few facts from the article that tell you how precious Migaloo is to the people of Australia. This article tells the reader that Migaloo is a rear white humpback whale that is very special to Australia. 
  3. Why is Migaloo known as a 'hypo-pigmented' humpback? Because he is a different color to all the other humpback whales

Critical Thinking Challenge:
Do you think Migaloo's special color helps or hurts him from human predators?
I think that Migaloo's special color should not be touched because its so rear and I think its not fair if we pick on him because of his color.
