QLD:Expert holds hope Migaloo is alive
A marine expert says a white whale found dead off north Queensland is unlikely to be
the rare albino humpback Migaloo.
Fishermen spotted sharks feeding on a white whale carcass off Palm Island, near Townsville,
earlier this week.
Whale Research Centre founder OSKAR PETERSON says he's been told by Aboriginal elders
on the island that it's not Migaloo, and he doesn't believe it is either.
He says Migaloo is 100 per cent white and can be identified by a photo of its tail
- the equivalent of fingerprints - while DNA on a database for confirmation.
