I've seen one in the fall that was a greyish/white on the back, had a calf of normal colour. In the spring it can be from ticks, bald spots, sometimes some huge bald spots result from them rubbing off ticks. Results in a lot of spring die offs as they have no coat left to protect them from the elements. Had one here in northern Alberta about 10-12 yrs ago. It kicked the krap out of the moose in a pretty large area up there.

I tried to edit the pic and although I can not say for sure it doesn't look like a moose to me.. Just by looking at it's nose makes me think it is something other than a moose.. I still can't say for sure though. Here is the edited pic anyways..

I think it's a Hyena.

JK....likes like a piebald moose. I've seen piebald deer and moose in the past. If it was albino it would be absent of all color and the nose and eyes would be pink.
