Prepare yourself for a look at a rare albino caribou calf photographed possibly for the first time

You want your OutDoors with a story? How about this one? A rare albino caribou calf was photographed recently in Alaska for what very well could be the first time.

Jordan Pruszenski, an Alaska Department of Fish and Game biologist, was counting caribou calves in a small plane north of Fairbanks when she spotted a white speck.

The late June routine activity to determine how many calves survived their first month was about to become anything but routine.

The white speck was a rare albino caribou.

"You could totally see it like on the horizon, and then it steps onto like the snow patch and totally disappears." The pilot turned the plane back towards the animal for another look.

As the plane took another pass, Pruszenski snapped several photos.

In addition to the white fur, this calf also had "incredible, beady red eyes" and pink hooves.

This rare sighting came with even rarer photographic evidence.

The Alaska Department of Fish and Game's last record of an albino calf was from 1976.

It had been observed through a spotting scope for a couple of minutes and no photos were taken.

Biologists didn't collar the calf or the mother and its white fur is going to make it stand out to predators.

"Once it steps off of the snow it just really stands out," Pruszenski said.
