Check out this incredible footage of a rare white humpback whale captured Monday off Queensland, Australia.

While whale watchers across the globe were hoping to catch another glimpse of Migaloo, a famous albino humpback that frequents Australian waters each year, researchers are saying that the whale spotted Monday was likely another whale.

According to CBC News, whale experts believe the whale seen here to be ‘Son of Migaloo’, who is smaller and whiter than Migaloo and was first spotted in 2011. Of the three white whales known to exist, only Migaloo has been confirmed as true albino, the CBC said.
