Proof that Albinos are genetic freaks.

I dunno, it looks more piebald than albino. Kinda stunted too, likely some form of dwarfism.

It probably got sick of looking at wind turbines where it lived and decided to move.

Piebald not Albino.

Default beautiful blonde

That animal in the photo looks like a pronghorn for sure.
Here's a pure albino mulie doe we named "Blondie" that lived in a special area by Sylvan Lake years ago. She wouldn't be alive now but we still see signs of her genetics around for sure with real pale colored deer, kinda like coffee with lots of cream in it. She was a beauty that one, with her weird color eyes and pink nose haha!! A few guys wanted to offer up trades for information on where she was but we never told anyone. The area where she lived, is now all plowed up. Used to be a wicked spot for sheds, one of my favourite places.

For several years there were albino mule deer around Judy Creek. Numerous guys that worked up there saw them.

We saw one (doe) on the way to work one day.

Amazing thing to see, but that was back in the day before cell phones.

We could have taken a thousand pics, as she stood in the ditch. I'm convinced she was blind, based on how she moved.
Conjecture: I think the lack of pigment in the eyes maybe means they get burnt out?

What was really interesting was that while she was pure white, except for the red eyes, everywhere there is different colour hair normally, you could distinctly see the hair pattern.

So where the white hair or black hair should be, distinct hair pattern outlined that.
