Albino (White) Moose in Montana

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.
