Melanistic Deer




This is what is called a Melanistic deer. Where albinos have a lack of melanin, these deer have an over abundance of it. Extremely rare. Melanin is what makes your skin darker like when you get a sun tan. The deer on the right was shot in central Texas
where there seems to be more of these than anywhere else.
