Video: Discovering an extremely rare white whale off Australia

Thanks to the unmanned aerial vehicle, researchers have for the first time captured a rare white whale playing with her mother off the coast of Western Australia.

According to researchers at Murdoch University in Perth (Australia), the whale's color is natural , not because albino resembles Australia's most famous white whale called Migaloo - a back whale. Hunchback is found in warm waters in north Queensland waters.

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.
