The attached photo was taken by phone, in a hurry, from my car - standing still of course. Being unfamiliar with the phone camera I never got to zooming in, but you can just see the animal in the centre. When I first saw it up near the trees I thought it was a horse without rider, but as it came closer I was able to see that it was an Albino elk. This was taken near Torreby, outside Munkedal on the west coast. Now, with the hunting season in full swing I am wondering if she is still around. Being white, she would prove a good target, or not as the case may be. It all depends on the hunters and their attitude to an Albino elk. Should I get to hear of her demise, I will update the article.

Here's a story from a few week's ago about an albino elk being shot, the story says that there are quite a few of them about. |
