For a long time, Hans Nilsson, a local commissioner in Eda, Sweden, had longed to catch a white moose on camera. Last week, he finally got his chance — and now, the spectacular footage has gone viral.
The extremely rare all-white bull moose calmy walked right in front of the camera, waded into a stream for a brief dip on the summer day, then shook off the excess water before proceeding to graze in the dense brush.
What a treat to behold!
What a wonderful thing to see. What a beautiful animal. I just hope that no stupid craphead kills it I hope he has a long wonderful life.
Cheryl..you read my mind. I wish this didn’t happen. Now the location and video of this beautiful animal is everywhere online. I too am now worried that some idiot trophy hunter will now hunt and kill it. I really wish this photographer didn’t make this information available online..I pray nothing happens.
I agree with both you and Cheryl, Rachael…My hope is some brain dead trophy hunter, that thinks this would look good hung on their wall, realizes that these rare beasts are protected internationally…not only would they lose their trophy, but could (more would than could) serve jail time and have a very very high fine to pay!
This moose is very special. I have never ever heard of a white moose before. I have seen the beautiful white spirit bears but this is really different. I saw a photo of a white deer too not very long ago. So now we have a white spirit moose like the white buffalo. I believe in those old legends about these white animals. they are very special.
TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU BOTH, I HAD THE SAME EXACT THOUGHT, AND NOW FEAR FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL ANIMAL!!!! GOD PLEASE PROTECT HIM, AND ALL ANIMALS!!!
Yes it worries me to pieces that some hunter is going to really go after that moose. Mostly because it is rare and a really different color. I hope that some wildlife people will protect it but how can you protect from a hunter with a gun or bow and arrow. After I saw the beauty of the moose, instantly after that, I thought some like DJ said brain dead hunter or I guess I should say spiritually dead hunter is going to kill it for its head and its fur. THis photo will probably go viral and that makes trouble for the moose.
Beautiful — thank you.
How wonderful!!!! I saw a white deer fawn just yesterday. Illinois USA. Aren’t these suppose to be good omens?!!! Hope for the future?
Yes there is always the fear that jerks will have to try to kill them. But keep them always safe in your thoughts. Hidden in the forests, away from the worst of human beings.
Yes they are supposed to be good omens of peace and happiness in the world. Especially the White Buffalo. He is supposed to be close to the great spirit.
