One of the girls at work forwarded these pictures to us from a friend of hers. The friend's husband saw the deer in the road and thought it was a goat but it turned out to be a very rare albino whitetail deer. They called the Houston Zoo and Fossil Rim and decided to give the deer to a game warden. If I get anymore details about what happened to the deer, I'll let everyone know.
The picture below shows the deer laying beside a tennis shoe.

Awwww. Baby.
I happened to see something about this on snopes.com the other day. It's the same pic. I don't know what to make of it. Really strange looking animal.

V - Isn't it cute?
Dick - The girl who sent it to me works in the office next door and she said it came from a friend. I'll send her the Snopes link. The e-mail she sent me was exactly the same one as the one on Snopes. I know she has friends in Conroe so maybe she can get them to call and confirm that it isn't an urban legend. Thanks for the link.
Auuuughhh Ghost of Bambi!!!
I have Disney flashback issues
What a cutie pie.
We had an albino moose years ago up in this area. There isn't a season on them here and it had a parasite in the brain which caused it to roam this far south. But some jackass went out and shot it anyway mostly for the notariety. He got fined a pittance and went on with life. I wanted to implant said parasite into his brain and turn him loose in Mexico but nobody listened.
Storm Trooper (Charlie) - Sorry dude, wrong blog. I hope you work it out with whoever you're trying to work it out with. Let us know how it goes. :)
Gee that's cute, but kinda pathetic. Is it blind?
I saw a half-albino deer, a yearling once. Rarity. Some people would think it would make a pretty coat. Not me. I thought it looked pretty good on the deer.
Question: Could an albino deer be anything OTHER than a WHITE TAIL deer?
Just a thought...
I kind of had the nose and eye tones of that deer back in college.
Mark - Oh, I hadn't thought of the ghost aspect. Creepy.
Comfort Addict - Isn't it though?
Ed - That's a great story!
Old Horsetail - Well said.
Jen T. - Hmmmmm......
Coolest Blog - Thanks.
Dick - Didn't we all?
Storm Trooper - I'm pretty passionate about passion.
Wow, I have never seen such an animal. Those eyes are they really this red and do you reckon they will change color once the deer gets older? Interesting stuff!!!
Astrid - Albino's have no pigment anywhere in their bodies and that doesn't change throughout their lives. Their eyes will always be pink.
