Find an extremely rare white dolphin in California

Last week, a newly discovered white Risso dolphin was playing in Monterey Bay, California by Kate Cummings, a research specialist at Blue Ocean Whale Watch.

Cummings said that after discovering the dolphin, she immediately contacted Marine Life researchers to confirm if this was the famous Risso dolphin that was seen in 2. years ago or not.

And surprisingly, this is the first animal discovered in 2015.

Life is harsh with albino dolphins, animals will be more attracted to predators and higher risk of danger.

In addition, he often has health problems such as poor eyesight and is particularly sensitive to sunlight. So, the fact that this dolphin can survive for nearly 2 years in nature is extremely rewarding.

"Although the animal's immune system or sound wave locator system may have been compromised, it can still survive by relying on other members of the predatory herd," Josh McInnes - Marine Life's research coordinator said.

'Although we don't know much about how Risso dolphins catch prey, we know they're good at squid hunting. By living in the dwarves, this dolphin can earn more ink. "

Josh McInnes also added that, in response to sunlight sensitivity, the Risso dolphin often operates primarily in deep water; where light cannot reach.

When discovered the second time, the small dolphin is covered with a layer of yellow algae growing on the skin and he also has a dark pink eyes.

With the information obtained from the picture, scientists have constantly argued whether the fish is a new species of Risso species or just an albino individual.

It is very difficult to know the number of individuals of these pigs because of their large habitat. Although it can be found in temperate and tropical waters around the globe, the dolphin is shy and only works in the 200m area below the sea.

However, in some rare occurrences, scientists can still identify the fish because of their very special head.
