Peterson, who has been tracking the albino whale Migaloo's acivities since the early 90s, told Daily Mail that the albino whale Migaloo has survived a run-in with an outrigger boat. The clash, he said, left a large black scar on the lower back of the albino whale Migaloo. Peterson said that the close call led to tougher laws being brought in to protect the rare albino whale Migaloo, who has a life expectancy of 80.
Peterson said, 'Planes have to stay at least 2000 feet from him and 500 feet if you are travelling in a boat.' Peterson also announced via twitter Thursday afternoon that Migaloo was in Sydney. He tweeted, 'Attention Sydney whale watchers. Migaloo was just sighted off Cronulla 30 minutes ago, heading north towards Bondi, enjoy!'
Peterson also keeps a blog dedicated to the albino whale Migaloo, which is filled with facts, photos and other tidbits about the rare and beloved whale. The site, migaloo.com.au, is primarily used to educate school children. Peterson said, 'I've had quite a lot of money offered for the website, but I use it as an educational site mainly for school kids who send me plenty of emails at this time of year.'
Albino whale Migaloo site made by Peterson reportedly also contains spectacular images of the albino whale Migaloo and his three-month round journey from Antarctica and back between late June and September.
