The secant known white killer was sighted of the East coast of Russia, on April 23. The mature male orca was named Iceberg. Scientists are fighting to make his habitat a wildlife refuge. Over fishing and drilling in the area has put the animals at risk. The only other known white orca was captured in 1970 it was a two year old female and she died at four years old, from a rare immune system disorder. Iceberg seems healthy though and scientists will continue to study him and other killer whales in the area.
