The Omura Whale is a rare and mysterious whale. Luckily, a group of tourists met and captured it!
Reporting from Thaiger on Saturday (13/1), this record was recorded when a group of tourists boarded a chartered boat around the Andaman Sea, from Phuket. Suddenly a pair of milky white whales emerged from the surface of the sea.
Like a graceful dance, this whale appears to swim for just a split second. Then, they disappeared without a trace.
“Wow,” exclaimed the guide, amazed by what he saw.
Meanwhile, the tourists on the ship gasped in shock.
“Oh my God,” they said in turn.
Thon Thamrongnawasawat from ThaiWhales said that this omura whale was the first to be seen there. Immediately, he reported the presence of the omura whale to Thailand’s Department of Marine and Coastal Resources.
“The department immediately began a search for the unusual specimen,” he said.
According to Whale and Dolphin Conservation specialists, the omura whale is an additional neoteric species in the catalog of mammal species. This whale was discovered in 2003 dead, then seen again in 2015 alive.
Omura whales have slender bodies that can grow up to 12 meters long. Weighing up to 44,000, the omura whale’s body is not symmetrical.
This creature is a tropical and warm sea. However, its existence is said to be mysterious because it is very difficult to find. Until now, there is very little data about omura whales.
