White Deer

[Subaqua Adinterim]

Coming back from a Seneca Lake park this afternoon with my wife and saw two white deer inside the fence at the old Seneca Army depot.  Got out and held my camera above the fence and took some pictures.  These are not albino deer, their hair is white and their eyes are brown.  There are a few hundred within the fence, along with many more (regular) brown deer.  First time that I have seen this type of deer.  The new owner of this property is planning on opening this area up as a park where people can drive through and view the white deer.  We got lucky and these two were near the fence as we were driving by.

Well now, that is pretty darn cool!

I think they might be considered a pieball (probably spelled wrong) deer. Not too common but not as rare as an albino.

I googled it. It's a rare type of deer, of which the largest herd is confined in the base in Seneca ny. Pretty neat stuff.

In ball python breeding, it's known as piebald.

Some of the prettiest snakes out there

Fallow deer, non native to the U.S. We have some here in IL at Argonne Labs. http://www.ne.anl.gov/pdfs/white_deer_fact_sheet.pdf

Not the same apparently, these are white whitetail deer, caused by a gene that doesn't color them brown.

That is cool. I was actually lucky enough to see an albino doe when I was a kid. It was at night and really stood out

I saw a white rabbit one time on windowpane.

Who says close only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades?

How did you know it was an albino? Might have been just a normal polar bear with a glandular condition.
