Call me Mrod. An extremely rare white killer whale was spotted and photographed in Alaska. Boats stayed back after it told them, "Back up sucka. You remember what I did to that Ishmael cat. I messed him up real good."
"I had heard about this whale but we had never been able to find it," said Holly Fearnbach, a research biologist with the National Marine Mammal Laboratory in Seattle who photographed the rarity. "It was quite neat to find it."
The whale had been spotted once years ago in the Aleutians but had eluded researchers since, even though they had seen many of the more classic black and white whales over the years.
