Several Thunder Bay residents saw the moose at a marsh with three other moose.
THUNDER BAY — A group of Thunder Bay residents who drove to Manitoba for a pickleball tournament found the highlight of the trip not in Winnipeg but in a marsh alongside Highway 17.
"We were driving home, and we had seen probably around nine moose before then. Then one moose walked onto the road, so we had to stop, and Troy saw the white moose first. I just thought how lucky we were because I know they're pretty rare to see. It's definitely something special that you only probably get to see once in a lifetime.
Moose with white fur can be more vulnerable to predators because they are easier to see against a backdrop of trees.
