A Pure White Yearling Deer, Is that unusual?

While driving on the back of my in-laws 25th May 2008 my husband and I decided to take the other way home and go through Evergreen, CO It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed the day with my husband's family, I had my camera in my pocket and was very satisfied with the images I had taken over in Denver by the family happy event. When my husband and I to have to stop the car, a few white deer were crossing the street was, that is quite normal in spring and summer here in theMountains of Colorado. My husband and I both looked at the right side, where the deer were from crossing and saw the most beautiful site we have ever seen! I really can not say whether this was a true albino yearling deer but it was all white. I told my husband to pull over immediately! I had the camera in my hands! He kept the car and I went back up the road a little ways and was on the right side of the road! I began to photograph about 50 meters and you can draw your conclusionsthe image if it is either a real or a pure white albino white deer.

I have already lived in the mountains of Colorado for over 35 years and that was the first time I had heard this. I felt very privileged to see this great website. And felt God showed me the beauty he creates. I told my mother about the deer and she told me she had seen about 20 years, one albino moose, and she wished she would have had a camera as I do. She had seen the albino moose in Conifer.As a native of Colorado I appreciate the opportunity in the wild life that lives here, have been blessed. I would much rather have a camera then shoot a gun, I understand about hunting and why we do it. In fact, I like some other wild life and wild meat. I will go to the hunters and I will shoot with the camera.

I was so so, the pictures excited, I came home and began research on legends and the rarity of the white deer. There aremany legends associated with the albino and white deer, especially in the Indian religion. Now before you in all legends and rarity, my personal feeling, no matter what facts I will be here, I believe God created some awesome, breath taking animals and what I saw, I will always remember how I felt when I made these pictures. (It is indescribable, and I hope you can feel that way one day)

In my research I found out that they are rare, only 1 in 30,000 are white or albino. AlbinoFawns rarely reach adulthood by predators. Besides the fact that solid white and can not hide in their surroundings, but usually one or more of the following genetic problems: poor eyesight hearing loss, and deformities of the feet and legs. This is also the reason that adult albino deer have a life expectancy of only 3-4 years. They make an easy target for hunters and meat eaters. To be born for albino deer, both parents have an albino, orIf both parents carry the albino gene (they are usually colored) will have a chance of 1 in 4 for producing an albino deer that is.

Then research it more, it really was an albino, or is it a rare white, white deer? Among the most frequently asked questions, "What are the causes of some deer are albinos?" "How common are they?" "Are you sure?" and "Can they reproduce?" Albinism is a recessive inherited in mammals, birds, reptiles, fish and even plants. These plants andAnimals do not have the gene for normal color and does not produce the enzyme responsible for skin, hair and tissue staining. Albinism is the complete absence of pigment bodies. The eyes of an albino are pink, because blood vessels behind the lenses through which UN-pigmented iris show. To be more: I started with the exploration of the religious context, the white deer was and I read this: Let me start this true story by saying it is no legend for the Great Spirit and the great whiteDeer, of the Lenape.

The White Deer is not a history nor legend, but a spiritual truth, which passed on from generation to generation by the Lenape people.

The White Deer, White Buffalo as the western First Nation tribes, is a holy spirit. The White Deer is a messenger as true as many sacred stories of the natives. Almost all every Native American tribe had some kind of "spirit" of faith in terms of albino animals. The Albino was protected by most Native AmericanManners. Within the Northeastern Woodlands, Leni was Lenape, Susquehannock, Iroquois (Six Nations) etc. One primary principle: The Albino are not hunted or killed. This taboo undertaken various curses. Hope can hear those hunters to this part. There are many others, why do you prefer to take the white anyway?

My conclusions are, I feel very privileged and honored that my husband and we could see something so rare, so beautiful and breathtaking. I know I will this money inmy experience and will never forget that day or that moment when I found these pictures that white, white deer took. Go to my resource area, you can go to the mountain girl web site and a breathtaking view of the city.
