Whatzit?

Giraffe?

I think Marty has it. It's a pinto/piebald moose.

There you go! A piebald moose it is!

[MurphOnMillerAve]

Oh. Cool!

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Cool, indeed!

[MurphOnMillerAve]

Their albino-ism must make them very vulnerable; hence, their scarcity (?)

[gregj410]

That’s really cool! There have been 2 albino deer here locally for the past couple years. I think they’re safer in the winter snow for sure. I could see them a mile away in the spring.

Is the moose albino or just white? His eyes look black.

[MurphOnMillerAve]

That one is so solidly white he almost looks painted.

Camera will do that...

Yes, everything is the same whiteness except the eyes.

Antlers are normally "bone" colored even in animals that are "white". There are a fair number of moose/elk/caribou photo's displaying that kind of coloration. There are a few where antlers (particularly caribou) where the antler has "fuzz" and the fuzz is albino over the underlying/mature antler that is bone colored.

The native American's consider ALL of these animals sacred "Spirit Animals" and killing one is really frowned upon.

So is the one in the picture photoshopped?

Good for them . It should be frowned upon. Don't we humans kill and eat enough animals?! Can't we leave such beauty alone to have fun and enjoy the adventure of it all ?!

Domesticated animals are one thing. Wildlife is another (and yes, I include bears in that free group. Of course, if they're going to roam into suburban yards and gobble-up kitty or puppy or little Tommy and Susie, or push their way through my sliding-doors at my deck, grunting, "What's for lunch, dumbass?" , as they did across the street a couple years ago, we have to take measures and draw lines .)

My fist thought was yes BUT it may be one of the cases of the antlers have white fuzz on them (late spring?). The video is definitely not HD. There are some other aspects that are disturbing about the entrance into the water. It MAY be a CGI moose.

There are a lot of images of real white moose including several that where three hunters killed them in Nova Scotia, Northern Ontario, Newfoundland, ... In all cases the indigenous peoples were incensed. In at least one case they posted a reward for information leading to the apprehension of the parties involved.

Unbelievable creature has come to the surface of the ocean at Japan. Scientists are having a hard time discerning what it is.

In the News this morning. "Purplish monster" and not a "Slickhead" fish. Size of a child.

So, you'll have to go to a tv channel that is carrying this news to see it.

P.S. 90% of ocean life has not been classified.
