Have you seen the white reindeer that has gone viral? Mads Nordsveen, a 24-year-old photographer from Oslo, came across a white reindeer while hiking with friends. Mads uploaded the photos of the animal to his Instagram account and they accumulate almost 30,000 likes.
Seeing a white reindeer is a very strange thing. In 2016 a white reindeer was spotted on a road in Mala, northern Sweden. His spectacular appearance is caused by a genetic condition that removes the pigment from his coat without being an albino . According to Scandinavian tradition, seeing a white reindeer is a sign of good luck.
