Whale with unusual belly bulge

An unusual sighting of a Southern Right Whale was observed from Whale Whisperer in the shallows near Perly Beach. The customary white callosities and baleen plates on the whale's head were coloured orange.
The belly of the whale seemed bloated, as though it has swallowed a baloon. No explanation as yet could be given for this strange phenomina. Although the crew were constantly on the lookout for the whale the next two days, it was not spotted again.
