A Whale of a Time in Mossel Bay: Spotting Snow White and Snowflake

Picture this: you’re enjoying a peaceful whale-watching cruise, gazing at the majestic Southern Right Whales when suddenly—boom! Out of nowhere, you spot two gleaming white calves, Snow White and Snowflake, making their rare and glorious debut.

Albino whales? Yes, you read that right! These cuties were born with a unique condition where, for a short time, they look more like swimming marshmallows than whales. But just like those marshmallows you toasted over the campfire, they’ll start to turn a little brown over time. This pigment change is natural, though spotting albino whales is as rare as a seagull not stealing your chips at the beach.

Scientists are buzzing with excitement, but the real stars are Snow White and Snowflake, cruising along Mossel Bay as if to say, “Yeah, we know we’re special!” With their smooth moves and striking white color, they’re turning this year’s whale-watching season into an experience you’ll never forget.

So, don’t let this once-in-a-lifetime chance pass you by. Jump on a boat, grab your binoculars, and prepare for a whale-watching adventure where you might just spot the rarest celebs of the ocean!
