Continued sightings of the baby alibino whale - Costalito
de Sal – in the waters of BCS have been confirmed by CONANP as they continue to
monitor this season’s whale population.
The baby was first spotted back at the beginning of Febriary
with it’s mum – and was only about 4.5m long.
Looks like he is continuing to thrive and getting bigger
by the day.
Costalito de Sal is the second sighting of an albino
whale in local waters. The first was back in 2008 with the sighting of "Galón
de Leche".
Huge excitement was caused with the reappearance of Galón
de Leche last year, as a first-time mom. Thankfully her calf was not albino,
but grey in color, making it much less vulnerable to predators.
