A rare white moose has been spotted wandering through a forest, thrilling wildlife lovers and experts alike with its stunning appearance. These striking animals — often nicknamed “ghost moose” — are extremely uncommon and draw significant attention whenever they are seen.
Unlike albino animals, which lack pigment entirely, many white moose owe their colour to a genetic mutation that affects pigmentation, resulting in a pure white coat that makes them stand out dramatically against the natural environment. Experts estimate that only around 100 white moose — also known as elk in parts of Europe — exist in regions like Sweden’s Värmland area, making sightings an extraordinary event for nature enthusiasts.
Locals who witnessed the rare animal described the encounter as a “magical moment,” likening the moose’s appearance to a ghostly figure moving through the trees. Videos and photos of the sighting are now spreading across social media, with many viewers calling the animal a symbol of nature’s beauty and mystery. Wildlife officials urge the public to maintain a safe distance and avoid disturbing the creature, emphasizing that while it’s a stunning spectacle, the animal’s well‑being in its natural habitat should come first.
