An extremely rare albino reindeer was filmed roaming through the wilderness by a drone, which stalked the creature from a safe distance. The majestic animal was spotted in an isolated area of Bodo, Norway by a drone enthusiast who wanted to capture some truly unique footage. Using his quadcopter as a way to spy on the reindeer without startling it, the man flew his camera into the sky and captured aerial footage of it looking for food.

He followed it from the air as it walked over to some trees before he later reduced the drone's altitude and travelled towards it. In the clip, the approaching quadcopter causes the animal to jump and run away, before it then stops and turns around to look back at the camera as if deciding whether it is a threat. The reindeer concludes that it isn't going to take any chances and runs away. Later in the video the drone operator flies his gadget high into the sky once again and films the animal from a distance.

On the move: The approaching quadcopter causes the majestic animal to jump and run away in panic. The drone operator followed the reindeer from the air as it walked over to some trees. Its white fur causes it to stand out like a beacon against the green surroundings of the countryside. The video concludes with the drone operator deciding he has captured enough footage and flying away to leave the animal in peace. The video was in fact captured last year but only recently emerged online when the filmmaker decided the footage needed to be shared with the world. Albino reindeer are incredibly rare animals with a coat of white fur and even a white tail. He's behind you! The man used his quadcopter as a way to spy on the reindeer without startling it. The white fur of the animal causes it to stand out against the green surroundings of the countryside. The colour, or lack of it, is a genetic trait that is passed on and can lead to problems with vision. The animals are typically identified by their pink nose and eyes the result of blood vessels showing through the skin and clear lens of the eyes. Unfortunately, due to the fact they stand out so prominently against the landscape, the animals are easily targeted by predators and rarely live to see adulthood.
