Migaloo - DNA

Migaloo's DNA was collected by Southern Cross University in 2004.
These samples confirmed that Migaloo was a male according to a press release (06/10/2004).[1]
The DNA was obtained sloughed skin samples of Migaloo as he passed Ballina, Northern NSW, on his return journey to the Antarctic (2004). [1]
PhD student Megan Anderson tested the DNA samples.[1]

Southern Cross University Whale Research Centre (SCUWRC) is a cetacean research centre that was established in 2001 at Southern Cross University in Lismore, New South Wales, on the east coast of Australia.[2]

Migaloo Skips Hervey Bay, Appears Off Cairns (28 June, 2010)

"Migaloo, the famous white humpback, has strangly been missed on his journey up the East Coast of Australia this year. Migaloo, meaning “white fella”, is usually followed eagerly on his annual migration from Antarctica to the warmer waters of Queensland. But this year he has been a bit shy. Eager whale watchers have not spotted him from all the usual vantage points. However he has been spotted recently by a local dive boat offshore from Cairns, in the company of a large female humpback."

BBC Documentary Planned About Migaloo's Life

The Eastern Australian population of humpback whales are now on the move. Migaloo, the famous Australian White Humpback Whale, has yet to be sighted this season in the North of Australia.

Sightings are eagerly sought this year as the BBC is working on a documentary about Migaloo. The plan is for Migaloo to be filmed with a high-tech film camera system fitted to a helicopter. The helicopter is reported to belong to Chris Rose Flying Films from Cairns.
