A very rare all-white humpback whale was spotted in Australia. It is one of the only ones left in the whole entire a world and it recently made an appearance. This is big news but I also wanted to post about it because I personally find these animals incredibly beautiful.

The picture on the left is a shot from the footage taken of the spotted whale on the 19th on June. The image on the right is the all-white humpback whale breaching but not from the same occasion.

Recently, a new theory has come out that we may be able to reduce shark attacks by 'manipulating' their brain. For example, they have already come up with a certain type of wetsuit that is specially designed to make us look like we are poisonous. These wetsuits are stripy and colourful which come across as something poisonous. As most things in the sea that a bright and colourful are highly poisonous, sharks may be tricked into thinking we pose a threat to them and stay away.

 These are the ''shark proof'' wetsuits that they are testing.

Great white shakrs cover huge distances, but recently and great white named Lydia who was tagged is about to be the first of the species to be seen crossing the ocean from one side of the Atlantic to the other! The shark, which was tagged in Florida, is now nearly 4'800 km from its starting point and only about 1'600 km from Ireland in Europe. If it continues east and crosses  the mid-Atlantic ridge, it will officially have crossed the Atlantic from west to east.
