In this case, they’re both named Iceberg.
Earlier this week, we were pretty excited when this news story popped up. Scientists in Russia
have sighted what is possibly the world’s only white orca whale. He is at least 16 years old, 22 feet long, and
seems to enjoy sailing the seven seas with his fish-eating pod. When the team of scientists studying whales
and dolphins in the Commander Islands suddenly saw a six-foot-tall white dorsal
fin surface from the waves, they immediately christened the white whale “Iceberg.”
We sincerely hope that someone in that research team thought
to yell, “Iceberg, right ahead!” after giving the whale his new name.
