A rare blonde moose was spotted in an aerial survey in Alaska by ADF&G Wildlife Conservation – Interior and Eastern Arctic Alaska a few months ago. The animal, renamed “Big Blondie,” is a male specimen believed to be affected by a genetic mutation due to ongoing climate change, although this is not yet certain.
The photo, taken by operators at the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, was taken in November, but its dissemination on social media happened just a few days ago. In just a few hours, the content went viral, attracting the attention of thousands of users around the world. According to the biologists, the genetic condition could expose the specimen to a number of dangers, and the animal’s future risks being less light than its fur.
