Meet the real Frosty
Why Frosty is so special
Most killer whales are black and white.
Frosty was born almost completely white, which makes him extremely rare.
Scientists believe Frosty has a condition called leucism, which causes lighter skin color.
Only a few white orcas have ever been documented in the world, which is why Frosty has captured so much attention.
Because of his pale color, Frosty sometimes looks like he is glowing underwater.
Some whale watchers even call him a âghost whale.â
Frosty's Family
Frosty is one of the ocean's most famous whale. His light color makes him easier to see in the ocean, so his family stays close to help protect him.
Orcas live in families called pods, and Frosty travels with his mom and relatives wherever they go.
When he was a baby, Frosty stayed right beside his momâand even now, his family swims together, often keeping him safely in the middle.
They hunt, travel, and play as a team, always looking out for one another.
Like many orcas, Frosty may stay with his family for his whole lifeâsafe, loved, and never alone.
