Marine officials, searching for a rare white Omura whale spotted in the Andaman Sea on January 1, have failed to locate it. However, they have located another 4 Omuras off Phuket, according to a Bangkok Post report.

 

Pinsak Surasawadi, chief of the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources, says a search of the water from the lower part of Phang Nga bay to Koh Racha in Phuket, along with a drone search around Phuket’s Koh Maithon, in addition to interviewing tourists and fishermen, have failed to locate the albino whale.

 

“Unfortunately, we have not yet found the albino one. But at least, we can collect information about Omura’s whales for future study.”
