From 1937 to 2008, there have been numerous sightings of a white whale around the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Japan.
The Institute of Critical Zoologists has accumulated an archive on the various documents and images of the sightings. Although the institute has no substantial evidence that this mysterious creature exists, the images and accounts prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the existence of the white whale is highly possible.
