A Freak of Nature

From my favorite sister (okay, only sister):

"A very eventful day around here… A once in many lifetimes experience!

Mark saw this lil’ feller run out in front of a car, we thought it was a lost baby goat. We stopped to save 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 one 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 tho. 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?"

This BTW is an example of an e-mail that has been around the world. Snopes hasn’t determined if the story is true.
