White Humpback Whale Ushers in the 4th of July Weekend

July 02, 2009

Migaloo, the world's only known albino humpback whale, made a rare appearance earlier this week off of Queensland, Australia. Iridescent white Migaloo is moving along the Australian coast during a seasonal migration. But Migaloo isn't the only "star" in our animal kingdom red, white and blue tribute, which also features nature's own fireworks: the Perseid meteor shower.

Happy 4th of July weekend!
