Albino Moose – Among the Rarest Creatures on Earth

There are many animals that can be found in the Canadian wilderness but the moose is one of the most magnificent. It is the largest member of the deer family and they earn that title, because they can weigh up to 1500 pounds and they can stand nearly 7 feet tall, from the hoof to the shoulder.

Although spotting a moose and capturing it in pictures is not unusual, the pictures that you are about to see truly are rare. Living among the “regular” moose that are found in the Canadian wilderness is another type of moose that is difficult to find. When you see this animal, you will recognize exactly how beautiful it is.

This is an albino moose. They are among some of the most rare animals on the planet.

Although the albino moose is a rare creature, they are still targeted by North American hunters. Interestingly, the state of Idaho and Newfoundland are both making it illegal to hunt these creatures. Hopefully we will see more of them.
