Lars Bejder, head of Murdoch University research team, said in the southern large whale, the rate of birth whales is 5% white, but often they will turn black within 1 year. So the discovery of a white baby whale is extremely rare.

Researchers say they have a sense of reward when they capture the white whale, and have additional material to better understand the animal.
