White Moose

Jody posted this at 9:56 pm under canada, photos

A relative in Newfoundland took these photos of TWO white (albino) moose (is that the plural of moose? I’m thinking meese).

Two white moose in Newfoundland

white moose in NewfoundlandAccording to the Newfoundland and Labrador government they’re common:

Special protection has been provided for a rare and interesting white moose that currently resides on the Port au Port Peninsula, MMA 43. Sightings of this particular moose are common and local residents have assumed a stewardship responsibility towards this unique animal. Hunters who hold a valid moose hunting licence for MMA 43 should be aware that these licences are not valid to shoot moose that are predominately white in color.

Click the photos for the un-cropped versions.

(Thanks mom)

    I have received 3 e-mails of pictures of the white moose, all from differant areas of the island, in this past year alone. Curious as I am, I did a web search and found this site. These are actually the pictures I was forwarded today! Curiousity brought me further to another site… If you are intersested in learning a little more about these beautys. http://www.mnr.gov.on.ca/mnr/c.....bg_05.html

    I have been reading some about these white moose, and i have read a few accounts that these are not Albino at all.. just rarely ,white fur moose.. look into yourself. and you may then want to change the heading at the top..

  13. # Steveon 11 May 2007 at 12:39 pm

    Albino: I think it means not fully cooked, you know, like pasta.

    it is a white moose and all white animals are sacred in native culture. all animals have white members rarely, and i was lucky enough to see a white muskrat.
