Albino baby deer


Albino Fawn from folks who live on Bolivar Peninsula, Texas

A very eventful day around here... A once in many lifetimes experience! 
This lil' feller run out in front of a car and looked like a lost, baby goat. A real Albino Whitetail Deer! Just hours old, but doing fine. No Momma deer around. Another car nearly hit it. 

Only 1 in more than a million albino deer are even born. He took his 
bottle of food, followed us around the house, doing great. The folks who found him called the Zoo & Fossil Rim, who were both interested, but were going to send him to a Rehab farm, at a vet that they never had gotten along with... So, they called a family friend who happened to be the Game Warden who took him to a safe place.

He was snow white, pink eyes, ears, nose and hooves. The kids called him POWDER. He was SO small as seen by the shoe lying beside him... WOW..how cool is that??
