An extremely rare white killer-whale calf named “Frosty” has been filmed off the coast of southern California.
According to Newport Coastal Adventures, Frosty has an extremely rare and unique genetic condition that gives the calf a lighter pigment than normal killer whales. Frosty is completely white except for a greyish dorsal fin and head.
The pod occasionally turns up in other parts of the world. They have been sighted as far south as Mexico, and as far North as Canada. However, they have not reportedly been seen in the California area in over three years.Newsweek
