A friend sent me this in the email the other day
A very eventful day around here... A once in many lifetimes experience! Mark saw this lil' feller run out in front of a car, thought it was a lost baby goat. Stopped to get it, and WOW. A real Albino Whitetail Deer. Just hours old, but doing fine. No Momma deer around. Another car nearly hit it in front of Mark...
Well, he is THE neatest thing any of us ever saw. And such a 'freak of nature', that only 1 in more than a million are even born. He took his bottle of food, followed us around the house, doing great. So, we called the Zoo & Fossil Rim, who were both interested, but we're going to send him to a Rehab farm. Maybe he will make it in captivity somewhere and be appreciated. So rare... Sure wanted to keep him though. but, not the thing to do. And not LEGAL either ; But, here are a couple of pix to show ya. He was snow white, pink eyes, ears, nose and hooves. Kids called him POWDER. He was SO small. That is my shoe lying beside him.. . WOW..how cool is that??

They're sending him to rehab?
I hope he's not in the pen next to Mark Foley or Lindsay Lohan.

Oh that is precious.
What a great experience - to find him alive and well - and to be able to care for him.
God bless and good luck

There was 2 albino buffalo's that were held in captivity, google "heider white buffalo" to find more info.
This deer is worth ALOT of money to rehab/petting zoos. Best bet would be to find the nearest local person of good repute with correct licenses, and let that person take custody, then try to have the find a good place and give them this huge crowd draw attraction.

Jacksonville has a great
petting zoo. How are the offers coming in?

Seriously, what an amazingly cute little fawn. A beauty when older, too.

VERY funny! Except for the pink eyes and nose, you have to admit they look similar.
