A Swedish man who spotted a rare white moose returned the next day and managed to capture video of the creature taking a dip in a local lake.
Hans Nilsson said he has been trying to catch a glimpse of the rumored white moose -- sometimes known as an elk in Sweden -- in the Eda region for several years, but he never actually found one until last week.
Nilsson posted a video to Facebook showing his second encounter with the alabaster moose, one day after his original sighting.
"This white elk bull is local to the area. I saw it the evening before too, that was the first time. On Friday evening when I shot the video everything fell into place, the location, the light and the calmness," Nilsson told The Local.
"It was an experience to meet such a stately animal up close," he said.
There are believed to be about 50 white moose in western Varmland. The animals are believed to receive their color from a genetic trait and are not albino.
Oops. He picked the wrong week to be a white moose.
Ping for later moose and cheese consumption.
You’re right...just ask Ezekiel Elliott.
Wow he really blends in!
Cool
There was a white moose cow around Wasilla a few years ago. I used to have a picture of it. Somewhere...
Moosecarel?
It’s just a wild moose chase.
Ha! Good!
