A rare white killer whale was spotted for the second time off the coast of British Columbia


VANCOUVER — A rare white killer whale has been spotted off the coast of British Columbia. Jared Towers, an orca ecologist with Fisheries and Oceans Canada, says the young transient killer whale was first seen at the end of November and was spotted again May 17. White orcas have been spotted a few times in the last century in B.C.’s waters but none of them are still alive, he said. The other option is he could just grow into his natural colouring, Towers said. “I anticipate we’ll get lots of opportunities to see this whale again and see how its condition progresses.
