Albino (White) Moose in Montana
Now That's Nifty ^ | 04 24 09 | Nick

Posted on 04/24/2009 7:56:40 AM PDT by Notoriously Conservative

These pictures were taken just outside of Whitefish, Montana. The cow moose can be seen foraging for food in a thicket with two other moose.

According to fish and wildlife officials, albino moose are rare but not unheard of. Typically, only 1 in 100,000 moose have the ablino trait, which is recessive.

Sightings of albino moose go back for centuries. Some Native American tribes regard these rare animals as spiritual and mystical or even a re-incarnation of a tribe member

What a gorgeous animal. Wonder if there is an Native American myth about a white moose, like there is about the white buffalo.

I thought about that, too.
We have a white deer that roams around in our field in the morning. White deer are pretty common, though.

Why call it ooga booga? The creation stories and legends that the various folks of the early Americas told (and tell) have some very powerful lessons in them. But perhaps you would consider Plato too ooga booga as well

I think Sarah should hunt it down to fullfill the prophecy.

“A Beautiful Woman Shall Ride from the North and she shall kill the White Moose, when this happens, let the liberals flee to the mountains, for the great hunt is about to begin ...”

Blackfoot Tribe, Book of Whispering Winds, Verse 24
