Post something Weird or Random

Someone on a train spotted three white moose in Sweden yesterday. Seeing one is rare, seeing three of them in the same spot is unheard of. They look like they were born last summer, siblings.

We've got the same sort of thing going on here with kangaroos. Normally in the wild albinos have a greatly reduced chance of survival. They're susceptible to sunburn, their eyes are adversely affected by bright sunlight and they're more easily spotted by predators.

They used to be very rare but are a lot more common now because of human intervention, being protected so that they live long enough to breed and pass on the faulty genes.

(I thought that Europeans called them elk...?)

We actually call them elg here. Those in the story I posted are moose, elk looks a little different.

I watched the video. It's really cool to see a small community of white moose. I haven't seen groups of white moose before, so this is a great video showing them interacting together.

Very cool.

There are some piebald white deer in my neighborhood. They definitely stand out. I see fewer of them every year. There is a lot of hunting here and I'm sure they are easy to spot.

And I thought I was lucky to see two white Camels in Morocco, last year.

There is an unwritten rule here, white moose or deer are not hunted. If you see them, you leave them alone. They are magical. It does happen once in a blue moon that an idiot ignores that rule and he is then thoroughly reprimanded by people. It's like shooting a swan, it's just not done, who does that.

Americans lack such sensitivity. :-(

Coastal British Columbia has one locale with "Spirit Bears" - Albino black bears.

Looks like the victim of an oil spill. It has to be a pic from the Exxon Valdeez disaster because there's been no such spill in Australia or Antarctica.

Here we have problems with people when fishing, and it's not an unwritten law, it's a very written law with huge fines but new migrants have a hard trouble understanding the concepts.

You're not allowed to keep undersized fish. Some species of fish you're not allowed to keep at all. Some species including crabs have a season where you're not allowed to hunt hem and even in season you're not allowed to keep a female. And there's a bag limit of how many you're allowed to catch too.

We don't want our waters fished out like in other countries.

But, there are no penguins in Alaska.

Sick, ignorant, twisted, despicable English adult male children who have got hold of a crossbow and can't think of anything better to do with it!
I truly 'love' my fellow countrymen sometimes (I've not heard of women indulging in this beautiful pastime, seems to be mostly a male thing ).

From white moose to big cats, a woman in Sweden saw a Lynx in her garden on Friday. Her dog was not happy about it. It's marking its territory in the video, so that garden belongs to the Lynx now.

Native Americans, or at least the plains tribes, revered white bison and did not hunt them. The birth of an albino bison is still a religious event, celebrated among the tribes.

Many years ago, a neighbor who lived several miles from us released some domesticated white turkeys he was raising. Our native or wild turkeys are basically brown and blend into the environment so they are hard to see. The white turkeys interbred with the wild turkeys and for several years thereafter, we'd easily see the crossbred turkeys roosting in the trees. I haven't seen them in many years so I guess either predators got them or the "white" genes got bred out of them.
