Down in southern Mississippi this white deer has been spotted by several people. My husband was lucky enough to see her on his way to work one morning and actually turned around to get this photo. This photo was taken several years ago but this deer has been spotted as recently as last year in the same area. I’m just glad she is still alive and not claimed by a hunter for the thrill of it.
If you look closely at the photo you will see a spot of brown on her head, so she is not an albino. Still, white deer are still pretty unusual and not seen very often. An albino deer, a bright white deer with red eyes would also have the fallow gene on her hooves and be clear instead of brown.
Have you ever seen a white deer or albino deer?

I have never seen an albino deer. I have seen a white deer. We know they are not true albino because of the eye color.
That is like this one. There is a patch of brown on head. I’m sure these is an albino one somewhere in the world.
That’s an amazing capture!
Thank you. He was lucky to get the shot after turning the car around and going back.
I seen it in National Geographic channel only
I missed that, but they are very beautiful and quite a sight to see!
Yes I did just the other day and it was like seeing a ghost. Could not get a photo.
Very nice, Carol. You will never forget it!
