Whale ID
Submitted by reece on Thu, 2014-06-05 23:56
Any idea on what sort of whales these are? They wer white with a black dorsal fin an a few spots on them. About the size of a killa whale in a pod of 8-10 in 500m of water on the shelf last time we went out! Also had a sunfish pop up and 2 big makos

All that white
Was the whole pod white like the one pictured ? If not , I would say an Albino Pilot whale

Definitely not Beluga...
...apart from being about 10,000 nautical miles outside their range (arctic), they also don't have dorsal fins.
As southcity says, gotta be Risso's!
