Migaloo more important than military exercises
Migaloo, the albino humpback whale has caused the Australian Defense Force to move future military exercises away from Queensland’s Shoalwater Bay area. Now that’s respect!
Migaloo has been spotted swimming towards Shoalwater Bay, and there are fears sonar equipment used in naval exercises could cause him, or other whales, to beach. For those of you that don’t know about Migaloo, he is the only documented white humpback whale in the world and he calls the waters around Australia and Antarctica his home.
The name Migaloo comes from the Australian Aboriginal word meaning “White FellahÂ.” He even has his own website, which can be seen here.
The Government of Australia has recognized this magnificent creature’s migratory path and is taking steps to not interfere with it, which should be applauded by all.
