Timor Tom

Timor Tom is a legendary whale from the 19th century, referenced in Herman Melville's "Moby-Dick".

Dr. Lawrence Blair in his TV program "Myths Magic and Monsters", suggests that Timor Tom was a gigantic albino Sperm Whale, who did not flee whalers, but attacked them and drowned many of them instead.
