Collier County, Fla. — A deer fawn with rare piebald markings on its coat was captured on wildlife cameras on a conservation preserve in Collier County.

Fewer than 1% of deer have piebald coats which have either white patches or are completely white, according to the University of Florida.

So why are these deer so rare?

It takes a genetic code from both the buck and doe and if it is passed on to the fawn, there’s maybe a 50\50 chance that fawn will develop some type of deformity, like bent legs or a twisted backbone.

This little one may have bent legs, check out the video and let us know what you think.

Only a few can live normal lives with piebaldism.
