I so jealous of the photographer! Good thing that moose wasn't having an attitude, that was close.

Original video (facebook): After three years of searching, Hans Nilsson from Eda was finally successful. Last night, the white bull moose came swimming straight towards his camera. Here's the clip! / Weekend reporter Annika

...there are frequently cross-linked susceptibilities to physical or mental defects, or susceptibility to environmental hazards, which indeed may shorten its life.

With any luck, it will fail to breed, unlike similar mutant tigers who are intentionally bred by humans for entertainment purposes under the pretext that they are some rare form of tigers, instead of a purposefully targeted genetic abnormality.

People do worse things with abnormal animals than kill them...

My dad and I when I was 10 or so went to a forest area with apple trees growing wild. We loaded up a few gunny sacks with apples and walking back we saw a solid white deer.

Back then in the fifties we gathered berries and apples all the time, we took fish we caught from the streams to the “Indian” smoke huts a few hundred feet downstream, they could use nets, and two days later we got our half, they kept their half for smoking. Yummy. Our freezer was loaded with Salmon my dad and I caught in our little rental boat in Puget Sound. Mount Ranier was beautiful straight out our living room picture window.

It was a great place for deer and kids. I saw Sputnik crossing in the sky from my back yard. It was tumbling so it was light on for a second, then dark, then back to light.
