It is common to think about reindeer during the Christmas Holidays. Beyond pulling a sleigh for Santa, many reindeer herds can be found in Northern Europe – particularly Sweden and Finland.
Of course, we might expect to see a reindeer with a shiny red nose, but to find this large mammal all in white is truly unusual…
And although, I cannot detect any pink in the deer’s eyes, in this photo, I do not think that this is an adaptation to winter conditions. Most likely this is an albino male reindeer who has white fur all year round.

A rare white reindeer was recently spotted near Mala, Sweden. The photo was shared last month on reddit by user nlsoy, but not much additional information was provided and a reverse image search did not provide any further clues.
Either way this reindeer looks amazing and I would love to see a photo of one in the winter snow! If you have any additional info, please let us know in the comments!
