Albino Moose

Not exactly. While the moose in the photos below appear to be albino moose they actually aren't. Through some research I found out they are likely white colored or white haired moose. It is an abnormal genetic variation of the species. These white colored moose can actually vary from all white to brown with white spots. My guess is similar to a piebald deer? Any way here are a bunch of photos.

Although true albino moose do exist it is even more rare than white colored moose. Around 1 in 100,000 are true Albino Moose. Some hunters in Vermont found out just how rare their Albino Moose was. Click here

  1. Doesn't seem to me that they are all that rare, if you can catch two in the same picture.

  3. That's super cool. Now I'll have to keep a look out for them when I'm on the Gunflint.
