Albino whitetail fawn

Check this little guy out. I do not know where they came up with the 1:1,000,000,000 figure, but it's pretty cool either way! Edit: I didn't rescue him. I got this email from my dad, who did not rescue him either. I don't know where he got it from.

**************************
A very eventful day around here ... A once in many lifetimes experience!

I 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 mother deer around. And other car nearly hit it in front of me ...

Well, he is THE neatest 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. So, we called the DEP , who is going to send him to a Rehab farm. Maybe he will make it in captivity somewhere and be appreciated.

So rare ... Sure wanted to keep him tho but, not the thing to do. And not LEGAL either; but, here are a couple of pix to show ya. He is snow white, pink eyes, ears, nose and hooves. Kids called him POWDER. He is SO small. That is my shoe lying beside him ... WOW..how cool is that??

That is really wild . I have seen quite a few piebald deer in my life, but never a true albino. Here is a link which is pretty cool. Just add the www.

Just the opposite for me. I grew up around deer, I've seen a few true albinos, never a piebald.
