:confused:A friend sent me this interesting photo. I've never seen anything like it. Some suggest it might be a moose/domestic cow cross. Maybe a Holstein. The photo was apparently taken just north of Fahler Alberta. That's all the info I have.
My first picture posted. hope it turned out OK.

That's a genetic thing called piebaldism! Google it and you'll see lots of deer not to many Moose have it! But it's 100% Moose!

It will be interesting to see where this goes on the Great Internet! We will see this picture over and over and it will be from a different town every time. Very cool though!

If my colour was a mixture of black & white like that moose I'd be angry too.

Thanks for the info. I'm curious. From a taxidermist point of view, would you say a shoulder mount from a bull moose with this condition be considered of more value? Since this condition as you pointed out is rare in moose.

Some suggest it might be a moose/domestic cow cross.
Likely the same folks that identified an 87lb coyote in Newfoundland. :roll:

I have a picture of a mounted bull moose from a diseased taxidermist Abe Braun from Penticton , looks just like it.

That is the first time that I ever saw a multi-colored moose. Interesting!

I didn't know Abe had a disease. What was it?

Yes being that it's rare it would be of more value!

At least 3 times in this site alone in the last few weeks.
I'm not sure but the likelyhood of cross breeding cows and moose would seem very unlikely to me
