QLD:Migaloo not dead: expert

A dead white whale found floating off Palm Island near Townsville is not the famous
albino humpback Migaloo.

After viewing photos and video footage of the carcass spotted by fishermen, Whale Research
Centre founder OSKAR PETERSON says it has black spots - and Migaloo is all white.

First sighted near Byron Bay 20 years ago, Migaloo is the undisputed star of the annual
whale migration along Australia's east coast.
