A Williams Lake resident is considering buying a lottery ticket after luckily stumbling across a rare, white moose while out for a scenic drive during the weekend.
乌鸦传媒淧eople have always told me I乌鸦传媒檓 lucky but this one kind of trumps them all,乌鸦传媒� said Hattie Deyo, who managed to capture a video and photographs from the encounter on a back road in the Cariboo outside Williams Lake.
乌鸦传媒淚t was with its mom, which was a brown moose. I didn乌鸦传媒檛 know what it was at first. I thought it was a cow with long legs.乌鸦传媒�
Growing up in a rural home, Deyo said she乌鸦传媒檚 heard of white moose, also called spirit moose, sightings before, however, never imagined she would witness one first hand.
乌鸦传媒淚t was pretty impactful,乌鸦传媒� she said. 乌鸦传媒淎nd one in a million.乌鸦传媒�
Deyo said after she parked her vehicle the mother of the white moose calf carried on, but it stayed behind.
乌鸦传媒淚t didn乌鸦传媒檛 go anywhere,乌鸦传媒� she said. 乌鸦传媒淚t was really cool and stood there for about 10 minutes 乌鸦传媒� then it just casually strolled away.乌鸦传媒�
Cariboo Chilcotin Zone Conservation Officer Service Sgt. Jeff Tyre said in his roughly 14-year career he乌鸦传媒檚 never come across a white moose.
乌鸦传媒淚t乌鸦传媒檚 definitely unique,乌鸦传媒� he said. 乌鸦传媒淵ou乌鸦传媒檒l only ever see one like that in your lifetime.乌鸦传媒�
