A Rare White Southern Right Whale Calf Has Been Filmed For The First Time

Researchers from Murdoch University’s Cetacean Research Unit (MUCRU) have recorded extraordinary video footage of a rare white southern right whale calf off the coast of Western Australia. The research team used a suite of innovative technologies including suction cup tags and drones to assess fine-scale movements, acoustic communications, ambient noise, calf suckling rates and body condition of southern right whales.
