White Orca


White Orca Spotted Off The Coast Of Russia
Riley Ryan, Timothy Kwon and Bryce Yeager

                        A fully-white orca whale was spotted off the coast of Russia by scientists that were on a research cruise. They named it Iceberg.
Iceberg seemed to live a normal life in his pod of twelve other whales. He is an adult male and one of the only white orca whales seen on the planet before, and the only grown male.
          
This phenomenon was a huge event for the world. We hope to see another creature as rare as this one.

"In many ways, Iceberg is a symbol of all that is pure, wild and extraordinarily exciting about what is out there in the ocean waiting to be discovered," stated Erich Hoyt of the Far East Russia Orca project, "the challenge is to keep the ocean healthy so that such surprises are always possible." –world news, msnbc.com
