white moose
The term "white moose" refers to a rare color variation of the moose, primarily found in regions of North America and Scandinavia. These animals have a genetic condition known as leucism, which causes a partial loss of pigmentation, resulting in their distinctive white or light-colored fur. Unlike albino animals, white moose typically have normal eye color.
White moose are not a separate species but rather a unique occurrence within the Alces alces population. Their rarity makes them a subject of interest for wildlife enthusiasts and researchers. Conservation efforts aim to protect their habitats and ensure the survival of these unusual creatures.
