An Albino Deer – A 1 in Million Occurance
November 30, 2006
I got this message emailed to me today by my mom’s friend in Wisconsin. Apparently a deer jumped out in front of her car and when they went to rescue it they saw it was an albino deer. Looks pretty cute…
A very eventful day around here. A once in many lifetimes experience! Mark saw this lil’ feller run out in front of a car, thought it was a lost baby goat. Stopped to get it, and WOW. A real Albino Whitetail Deer. Just hours old, but doing fine. No Momma deer around. Another car nearly hit it in front of Mark.
Well, he is THE neatest and cutest thing any of us ever saw. And such a ‘freak of nature’, that only 1 in more than a million are even born. He took his bottle of food, followed us around the house, doing great. We called the Zoo & Fossil Rim and both were interested, but we’re actualy going to send him to a Rehab farm. Maybe he will make it in captivity somewhere and be appreciated. I hope so. These deer are very rare. We wanted to keep him but it’s not the right thing to do – and not legal either.
Here are a couple of pix to show ya. He was snow white, pink eyes, ears, nose and hooves. Our kids called him Powder. He was SO small. That is my shoe lying beside him.
Pass this around, a lot of folks have never and will probably never see even another picture of an Albino deer fawn……

Amazing pictures. They are few and far between among whitetail deer in North America. I heard it was around 1 in every several hundred thousand born. So what is that a couple times a year one makes it into the world. The albino deer were thought to be magical by indians way back in the day. And to the previous poster those look to be white deer, not albino deer in that video as they seem to have some pigmentation.

The truth is that they are not and there is a growing industry to prove it.

Hey these deers are not so rare! We used to live in VA and would see them occasionally. We also have a lot of albino squirrels and wild rabbits.

We have one on our property in Fredericksburg VA. Can’t get close enough to see the eyes, but it is white.
Pretty cool!

That’s so wild… I just came across some photos a friend of mine gave me of an albino deer. I was helping her email pictures since she wasn’t too web savvy, and she gave me copies… they’re the EXACT same pictures… her name was Mimi, and I don’t know how she was related to these people, but the pictures are the same… small world.
I joined Qloud… it’s really fast and fun.
thx good luck in the City of Angles. (just made that up, but you can use it if you vant.)
