After 30 years of watching the same brown‑coat deer families stroll through my backyard like they own the place, this mystery guest shows up. Albino? Secret love child? Did mama deer step out on the herd? The neighborhood wildlife gossip is out of control already 😂
But the truth is even cooler: she's a piebald deer, the result of a rare recessive gene that only shows up when both parents quietly carry it. They can pass that gene down for generations without anyone ever seeing a single white patch. Then suddenly—boom—two carriers mate, and nature rolls the genetic dice.
That's why this is the first time in three decades I've ever seen one here. The gene has probably been hiding in the local herd all along, waiting for the right pairing. Piebald deer make up less than 1% of the population, so spotting one in ny own literal backyard is basically winning the wildlife lottery.
So no scandal after all… just a rare, beautiful genetic surprise wandering through my yard like she's making a cameo in a nature documentary. Or an ad for Ancestry or Sequencing dot com. 😄
