This shocking drone footage shows the rare sighting of an albino humpback whale breaching the water.
Isabella Dobozy spotted this incredibly rare mammal while sailing along the east coast of Australia.
Albino (or truly hypopigmented) whales are extremely rare. For humpbacks, the chance of albinism has been estimated at around 1 in 40,000.
Isabella said: “What an exciting afternoon of sighting one of the rarest animals on the planet.
“The fact that I was able to capture the whale breaching the water was truly an incredible experience. What a day!”
Viewers loved the stunning sight. One person commented: "Oh Wow Issy, so incredibly special."
Another added: "Incredible and a privilege for you to see Issy!!!! Wow."
