Feb 14, 2009: Albino moose
 
IotD, always documenting the albino animals... so here is your albino moose. Don't know where the pics originated; no further information.

I wonder if this has meaning to the Canadian First People, the same way the White Buffalo for the Plains Indians and the White Deer for the Eastern Woodlands?

Shawnee123 02-14-2009 11:44 AM

WOW. How cool is that?

Nirvana 02-14-2009 11:54 AM

How big a roasting pit do you think we'll need? :yum:

capnhowdy 02-14-2009 01:34 PM

I see this guy every day at the Moose Lodge. Drags his feet when he walks.

Clodfobble 02-14-2009 04:03 PM

Soon, natural selection will lead to a moose population that is predominantly white--that is, until that pesky coal plant opens up next door...

Griff 02-14-2009 04:09 PM

just Wow.

Cloud 02-14-2009 04:31 PM

I would say, "wow, that's cool!" . . .

but other people have already said it!

I want a stuffed one! a toy, that is . . .

eta: a search of Amazon shows 427 results from "moose" in "toys & games." Four hundred stuffted moosies and moosie toys? And not a single albino in the lot. 'Tho there is a white and gingham checked one; a red, white & green Christmas one, and sock monkey one. hmm.

It does have meaning. Medicine man says "White moose, the other white meat"

her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and

Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked, have been sacked.

SPUCK 02-15-2009 04:46 AM

You know ... I don't think I have any white stuffed moose. They're mostly shades of brown, although Zeus, the second Ty Beanie Baby Moose with the Sparkly antlers is pretty cool (Chocolate was the first beanie moose, I have him too), and I also have two larger Ty Blue Moose, (Twaks and Bloose). But you're absolutely right! This is moose racism!!

Cloud 02-15-2009 10:14 AM

a blue moose? sounds drinkable

ZenGum 02-15-2009 09:00 PM

You reckon that thing would be vanilla-flavoured?

Shawnee123 02-15-2009 09:01 PM

White mousse.

No, then it might be white and red.

I have an huge stuffed white buffalo that I have had since I was a kid working at Worlds of Fun. One of the guys working the ski ball "won" it for me. Like he spent that much money on tickets... im sure they were "recycled" by him, but I didn't ask questions. It is too cute. It lives in my spare room now.

Albino moose
 
These photos were taken last year in British Columbia. It was seen again this spring.

capnhowdy 05-13-2009 09:25 PM

welcome to the Cellar, beautifulbc....

Hard to tell the albino from the white moose.

BTW... Cellar was the second listing on google for the albino moose.:D

xoxoxoBruce 05-14-2009 12:07 AM

Thanks beautifulbc. :thumb2:
