Piebald Deer Spotting 1


Here is a photo by Ruth Strasser Fulling of the white deer roaming Oakland. She runs with a herd of about 8 deer. It’s called a piebald deer. Piebald deer (partially white) are from a recessive genetic trait and the deer usually become more prevalent due to overpopulation of a deer herd.

    The deer has been in the neighborhood (Eaglecrest area) since in was a baby deer. It was all white then. Glad someone finally got a picture of it.
