Source: PerthNow Good news about humpback whales off Perth, Australia:

A RARE white-tailed humpback whale has been spotted frolicking off Cable Beach. Martin Pritchard, from Environs Kimberley, was whale watching with Sentosa Charters during the Kimberley Whale Festival when he snapped the whale showing off its unusual white tail flukes.

Department of Environment and Conservation whale expert Doug Coughran said a booming humpback whale population has led to more genetic variety within the species.

“Over time, with a higher population, you do get a few colour variations,” Mr Coughran said.

“I have seen them before but not very often.

"It is because the gene pool is bigger, so you get a bigger variation of colour.”

WA has the biggest humpback population in the world, after recovering from an estimated 200 animals when whaling was banned in 1978.

The whales are currently migrating north toward warmer waters after feeding in Antarctica during the summer.

The Kimberley coastline plays a crucial role in the annual migration of humpback whales, which use the calm waters as a nursery.

What a heartwarming picture, Linda (Slasberg)! Every home should, indeed, be a haven to every animals, after all, we, humans must protect them from every conceivable harm and cruelty.

My dogs have always been my best friend. Total trust, love, devotion, and companionship. Hard to beat that in the human sector.

I love animals -- all animals except for lizards and snakes.....when I am hiking, I enjoy seeing blue jays, squirrels, chipmunks....When I had a cabin in Big Bear past the 6000 ft elevation, I used to see the occasional coyote....My dog is actually my very best friend....

Thanks Jackie, For your comments and for saving the dog. It will be a thrill to see how she will become safe and secure with someone who will never harm her again. She will never have to go hungry, be scared, be hurt, or feel fear to trust. Bless you.

Too Barbara - that was totally awesome and it proves something that we all are akin one with another, thanks for sharing.
I rescued a scared little dog from the pound who had been mistreated something awful, scared out of her wits, but for some reason she took to me right away, today she is less scared and not skinny anymore, so glad I did that. JackieO

I was walking through orchards and woods that are behind my house, and I was startled by something running towards me from the woods. I realized it was a newborn fawn. Legs long and wobbly, he ran right up to me and we stared at each other. I spoke and said hello, he was as shocked as I was. It was a once in a lifetime event. I tried to take a picture but in the sun could not see my phone details. He decided he wanted to walk on, so I said go find your Mama, he turned and looked at me with his ears upright, then turned and ran into the woods. I hope his Mama told him never to do such a thing again. While walking home on this Father's day I saw a miracle and wondered if my Dad who died in 1996 had just sent me a gift on this day alone by myself. I think he did. Thank you Dad.
