For a while now people have been coming forward with reports of this albino Killer Whale in the region however no one has ever photographed it. After examining the photo Scientists are having doubts that the Killer Whale is actually a true Albino because you can see some skin pigments.

Asian Carp threaten Lake Michigan
Asian Carp are now within 45 miles of Lake Michigan. While areas of the Illinois River are infested with 80,000+ Asian Carp according too annual sampling.
Last year Congress passed 9 million in funding to complete a electric barrier to keep Asian Carp from entering Lake Michigan. However the electric barrier is still not operating and we are running out of time.
If Asian Carp enter Lake Michigan the entire Great Lakes 4.5 billion dollar commercial and sport fishing industries could be devastated. Because of the impact Asian Carp would have on the delicate Great Lakes Eco-System.
