THat is really cool! Here in Eastern Montana, an albino is pretty rare. Some distant relatives of mine have a nice 5 pointer that lives near their hay yard they keep a close eye on. Its the only one I've seen. There is also currently an albino cow moose in the Bighorn mountains of Wyoming, but I have not seen it in person.

While white moose are relatively rare, apparently they are not necessarily true albino. A true albino lacks any pigment and will have pink eyes. According to this link, white is a natural color for a small number of moose.

I'd love to see one in the wild.
