Rare moose spotted in Norway
2007-05-25
"Hokey smokes, Bullwinkle!"

Kurt Are Boine Nikkinen was on a fishing trip, but made his biggest catch with his camera. Nikkinen, 31, was on his way home from a fishing trip when he spotted a white moose in Tanadalen, 30 kilometers east of Karasjok in Finnmark County in northern Norway.

Around Wednesday midnight, the albino moose was out in a field, just about 100 meters from the road. "It stood and looked at me," Nikkinen told Aftenposten.no.
Lucky you, it could have charged.
The Finnmark man had a video camera in his car and filmed the moose, also driving after it when the moose ran along the road, and at one point was only about 20 meters from the animal. "It was completely white and had red eyes," Nikkinen said.

After a while the animal turned and crossed the road behind Nikkinen's car before disappearing into a field on the other side.

#6  Pppphht! Everyone knows there isn't such a thing as an albino moose!

Like all blobsquatchmoose videos, this one is shakey and blurry (ignoring the clear, steady parts, of course) ... I'd say it's a guy in a suit!

#4  The moose could have charged, but it let Nikkinen use his Nikon for free.
