A white killer whale, nicknamed Iceberg, has been spotted off the coast of eastern Russia. It is believed to be the first time an adult white orca has been seen.
Nobody knows why orcas turn completely white, but a captive white animal suffered from a genetic condition that causes partial albinism.
The adult whale spotted in Russia appears to be healthy and leading a normal life.
