Description

Hunter C.H. Randall shot a rare white deer at the West Branch Ponds, which he had taxidermied.

White and brown animals like this deer are not albino, but rather "piebald" or "pied", meaning it they have a pattern of pigmented spots on an unpigmented (white) background of hair, feathers, or scales.
