Rare white killer whale calf named 'Frosty' spotted among pod off OC coast

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (KABC) -- Whale watchers were treated to an incredible and rare sight off the coast of Southern California.

They spotted a pod of orcas about nine miles off Newport Beach on Monday.

They also caught a glimpse of a white killer whale calf named "Frosty." The unique milky white orca most likely has a rare genetic disease.

Amazingly, the sighting comes almost exactly one year since the pod was last seen off the coast of Southern California.

Orcas, also known as killer whales, spotted off the coast of Southern California have been keeping whale watching tour companies busy as the end of the year approaches.
