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?

WOW. How cool is that?

Kewl!!:D

whoa, that thing is HUGE!! :eek:

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

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

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

just Wow.

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"

I say we gotta find it first.... d'you think it sneak into the hunters' camps and plays tricks on them?

Reckon it will make white gravy?

A Møøse once bit my sister ...

No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse
with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given
her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and
star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo
Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst
Nordfink".

Mynd you, møøse bites Kan be pretty nasti...

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!!

a blue moose? sounds drinkable

You reckon that thing would be vanilla-flavoured?

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.

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

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

Thanks beautifulbc. :thumb2:
If you see any pictures of the latest sightings please post them.
