The most famous animal in Sweden is without a doubt the moose. With safaris, bumper stickers, oven gloves and t-shirts featuring the moose (or Eurasian elk) it has become Sweden’s zoological superstar.

There are approximately 350, 000 moose in Sweden but only a very few number of white moose. The whiteness is not a form of albinism but a form of genetic variation. White moose have brown eyes and are accepted as equals by their brown counterparts.

Most white moose in Sweden can be found in the west of Sweden, for example in the provinces Värmland and Bohuslän.
