Brindle Southern right whales are a rare colour variant that are almost completely white with variable black spots. Despite being rare, I got to see a few brindle individuals in South Africa, including this breaching brindle calf. About 94% of brindle whales are males and this rare pigmentation pattern is created by a brindle male mating with a partial grey female.
