Since yet another state has the white-tailed deer as their State Animal, I found an article about a different type of white-tailed deer—the piebald.
From: eastwesthunt.com:
Among the most often seen and identifiable animals in North America, whitetail deer are among them; some of them stand out because of a startling genetic abnormality called piebaltism. Unlike normal deer, piebald whitetail deer have a marbled or speckled look from their unusual blend of brown and white fur. A genetic mutation influencing pigment causes this unusual tint and occasionally results in physical defects.
Piebald deer have captivated scholars, sportsmen, and nature lovers all around despite their difficulties. Some societies even view them as lucky symbols. Including their genetics, rarity, health issues, and importance in nature, this page covers all you need to know about piebald white-tailed deer.
A piebald whitetail deer is a deer having clearly brown and white fur patches. Piebalds have uneven white patches all over their bodies unlike typical whitetail deer, who have a full brown coat with a white underbelly. A genetic mutation influencing melanin production, the pigment in skin, hair, and eye color causes this disorder.
| Feature | Piebald Deer | Albino Deer |
| Fur Color | Brown and white patches | Completely white |
| Eye Color | Normal (brown or black) | Pink or red |
| Nose Color | Normal (black or brown) | Pink |
| Hoof Color | Normal (black or brown) | Pink or white |
| Pigmentation | Partial pigmentation | No pigmentation at all |
How rare are piebald whitetail deer?
Extreme rare are piebald whitetail deer. Piebaldism is exhibited by less than 2% of all the whitetail deer population. Genetic elements do, however, cause some locations to have a somewhat higher incidence.
Why are they so rare?
Piebald deer are rare mostly since the genetic mutation causing their pigmentation is recessive. This implies:
A fawn must inherit the piebald gene from both parent deer.
Just a tiny fraction of fawns will be born piebald even if both parents carry the trait.
Should just one parent have the gene, the fawn will have normal coloration but may pass the trait on to next generations.
Piebald deer are so scarce in nature and a wonderful sight for those who enjoy wildlife only.
What causes whitetail deer piebaldism?
A hereditary abnormality known as piebaldism causes white fur patches by influencing melanin synthesis. Along with affecting fur pigment, this mutation can cause physical abnormalities.
Physical Exceptions Related to Piebaldism
Many piebald deer are born with other health issues including:
Twisted or shortened legs make mobility harder.
Curved spine (scoliosis) causes postural problems
Affecting feeding and survival, overbite or underbite.
Abnormalities of internal organs cause problems in health.
While not all piebald deer have these problems, the mutation raises their likelihood of physical difficulties.
Piebald Deer’s Significance in Nature and Human Culture
More than just a rare sight in the wild, piebald deer are very important in both natural environments and human civilization.
Native American Folklore: Piebald Deer
Piebald deer are holy animals according to some Native American tribes. They are supposed to provide blessings, protection, and spiritual messages as well as luck. In some customs, killing a piebald deer is thought of as bad luck.
Do Piebald Deer suffer from any survival disadvantages?
Unfortunately, piebald deer’s distinctive color makes them more easily seen by predators including:
Wolves
Coyotes
Bobcats
Humans
Normal brown-colored deer mix in the wild and make it more difficult for predators to find them. But the white patches of piebald deer stand out and raise their vulnerability to attack or hunting.
Identification of a Piebald Whitetail Deer
Look for these characteristics if you search the wild for a piebald deer:
Randomly dispersed white and brown coat patches.
Normal-colored eyes—unlike albino deer, which have pink or red eyes.
Potentially physical anomalies including a bent spine or shortened legs.
A deer with arresting white markings that contrasts with its surroundings.
Should you ever stumble across a piebald deer in the wild, you should count yourself lucky as finding one is unusual and intriguing.
Conclusion
Piebald whitetails deer are among the most fascinating and unusual animals on Earth. Different from other deer, their unusual white-and- brown hue originates from a genetic abnormality. Although they are lovely, they are more easily seen to predators and often have health issues.
Piebald deer are rare, yet they nonetheless draw the interest of academics, hunters, and other wildlife aficionados. Some societies even see them as enigmatic luck symbols. Whether you are lucky enough to come across one in the wild or just find their genes intriguing, these deer remain an amazing example of the diversity present in nature.

Just The News: “Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Wednesday unveiled a massive reorganization of the U.S. intelligence community that will cut hundreds of positions inside her own office and put pressure on other spy agencies to do the same after bombshell revelations over politicized weaponization of intelligence.
The current plan will cut about 40% of the ODNI workforce and save taxpayers more than $700 million per year, refocusing the agency on its core mission as the central hub for integration, strategic guidance, and oversight of the U.S. intelligence community, officials said.
“Over the last 20 years, ODNI has become bloated and inefficient, and the intelligence community is rife with abuse of power, unauthorized leaks of classified intelligence, and politicized weaponization of intelligence,” Gabbard said. “ODNI and the IC must make serious changes to fulfill its responsibility to the American people and the U.S. Constitution by focusing on our core mission: find the truth and provide objective, unbiased, timely intelligence to the President and policymakers.
“Ending the weaponization of intelligence and holding bad actors accountable are essential to begin to earn the American people’s trust which has long been eroded,” she added. “Under President Trump’s leadership, ODNI 2.0 is the start of a new era focused on serving our country, fulfilling our core national security mission with excellence, always grounded in the U.S. Constitution, and ensuring the safety, security, and freedom of the American people.”
ODNI was created to be a small oversight agency after the September 11, 2001, terror attacks exposed systemic intelligence and law enforcement failures. Over the years the agency ballooned to between 1,750 and 2000 workers.”

Just The News: “A government watchdog this week lodged an ethics complaint against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, which targets her law license in Arkansas, over her ties to the Obama administration’s Russiagate scandal.
Recent reporting found that high-ranking government officials during the Obama administration tried to damage President Donald Trump during and after his 2016 presidential campaign by promoting false conspiracies that would benefit Clinton.
The watchdog group, Democracy Restored, filed the complaint, which seeks a “formal review of the conduct of Hillary Rodham Clinton, Esq., a licensed attorney in the State of Arkansas, in connection with her actions during the 2016 presidential campaign,” according to Fox News.
The complaint alleged that Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign elevated “unverified” and “unvetted” information to “injure her political opponent,” and that the former Democratic presidential nominee even approved a plan to smear Trump to distract from her own legal issues. “This revelation demands an already overdue inquiry into Clinton’s fitness as a member of the Arkansas Bar,” the complaint reads.
The complaint claimed Clinton’s actions in 2016 violated the “Dishonesty” and “Prejudice to the Administration of Justice” sections of the Arkansas Rules of Professional Conduct. “If there is one political scandal synonymous with the 2016 election, it is Operation Crossfire Hurricane,” an unnamed Democracy Restored director told Fox News. “Former Secretary Clinton’s utilization of a bunk dossier by a foreign ex-spy to harm a political opponent violates basic ethical norms as well as the Arkansas bar’s own rules of conduct for attorneys.
“The Arkansas bar needs to take a serious look at former Secretary Clinton’s involvement in this scandal and take appropriate action,” the director added.
No criminal charges have been filed against Clinton in connection with the Russiagate scandal. “
