Video and pic :Schoolteacher is driving along the road, immediately slams breaks when albino reindeer crosses

Teacher Siv Poijo was taking a vacation in Mala, Sweden, when she saw an albino reindeer at the edge of a forest. The stag stopped still for just long enough for Poijo to take the photo.

About the magnificent moment, the teacher noted-

“In the pack there was only one white reindeer, it is not that often you see one.For the Sami people, the white reindeer have special significance – I think they bring luck and are considered holy.”

Albinism is caused due to a genetic mutation and can be incredibly rare in reindeer. They have been previously found in Norway, Finland, and Sweden, as well as in captivity.

The beautiful reindeer is a reminder to appreciate the little moments in life, and to never take what nature offers to us for granted. Poijo has captured a stunning moment in her life, and seems to be deeply appreciative of being able to snap a photo of the chance meeting!
