white deer
Leucistic forest ungulate
A white deer is a deer with white or mostly white coloring, resulting from leucism, albinism, or rare genetic variation.
White deer appear in folklore and mythology across cultures, often as omens or magical creatures.
Some populations exist in protected areas where hunting restrictions have allowed the trait to persist: We spotted a white deer at the edge of the forest.
