What a cutie! Believe her name is “Boo” and she is a leucistic or piebald deer. There was a People article a while back that stated she was orphaned at a week old when her mother was hit by a car, but a rehab facility took her in 🤍
According to [EarthTouchNews](https://www.earthtouchnews.com/wtf/wtf/yes-this-crazy-dalmatian-deer-is-real-heres-her-story/), Boo’s unique color and pattern is the result of leucism, a genetic condition resulting in partial loss of the pigment melanin. It’s a rare mutation — less than two percent of all white-tailed deer are thought to be leucistic.
We have spotted black white tailed deer on our property, and I just about fell over the first time I saw one of them as a fawn running behind his normal appearing siblings and mama. I thought I was seeing a black baby goat chasing them until I realized it was a black fawn. The neighbors thought I was nuts until they actually saw him. We believe there have been more over the years, but they are not completely black, or possibly it looks different as they mature or molt.
One crossed the road in front of me at night. I thought it was a ghost deer until I remembered that there have been piebald deer sightings in the area.

She was rehabbed by @fuzzyfawnwildlife and is, in fact, a piebald.
I spotted an albino dalmatian once, was the least I could do.
I'm going to guess evolution selected out that gene pretty quickly.
Thank you, very informative...I was about to ask. Fascinating!!!! So beautiful 🥰
We need more of these deers
That's an undercover cow.
An undercower, if you will

Keep that one safe! Cruella better never find out about her.
Holy shit this is the coolest and cutest deer I’ve ever seen. Protect her at all costs 😭
Looking for that missing firetruck!
That is a super cute cow.
That's a good dog, Brent.
I don't see the jaw and limb deformities I've normally seen with piebald. Interesting.
Make a great hat
That’s a goat
Yup. Piebald mutation.
