Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
Migaloo is by far one of the world’s most recognisable whales, because he is completely white. Thanks to genetic sampling of Migaloo’s
skin, scientists have identified that he’s male, and his albino appearance is a result of a variation in the gene responsible for the colour
of his skin.
Simply by looking different, Migaloo has become an icon within Australia’s east coast humpback whale population. Indeed, Migaloo has
his own Twitter account with over 10,000 followers, and website where fans can lodge sightings and learn more about humpback
whales.
He was first discovered in 1991 off Byron Bay, Australia, and has since played hide and seek for many years, with many not knowing
where or when he’ll show up next. He’s even surprised Kiwi fans by showing up in New Zealand waters.
