Albino Animal Extravaganza

All the rage this week on the big bad web is the big bad albino orca. It swims around the big dark ocean intimidating other sea creatures with its big white…The…ummm…big glowing specimen was spotted aboard the NOAA RV Oscar Dyson with its pod about two miles off Kanaga Volcano, part of Alaska’s Aleutian Islands, on February 23. At the time, Kodiak-based Oscar Dyson was on a research expedition for NOAA’s Alaska Fisheries Science Center, assessing pollock fish stocks near Steller sea lion haulout sites.

  1. I believe the orca is actually just white and not an albino. At least thats what I read elsewhere. There WAS an albino orca in captivity once, named Chimo.

  2. There’s a page on albinos in “Ripley’s believe it or not!: The Remarkable…Revealed.” On it there’s a kangaroo, a blackbird, a chimp, a squirrel, a gorilla, a hedgehog, and an alligator.

  3. The albino rattail is ethereal, almost beautiful and majestic.

    Too bad its just a stupid fish.

  4. No! I love them! Especially sauteed in garlic lemon butter with a dallop of creamy dill sauce. Or beer-battered with chips with a nice hefty stout.

  5. that second photo looks like there is some black underneath that yellowness. Could it be possible that something was spilled on it? It looks like around the eye is the actual white normality seen in an Orca but the rest seems like a faded black.

    btw, i love this blog. I check it every day. keep it up! u update me on my childhood dreams that just didn’t work out!
