Piebald Deer

posted for new blogger Alitz.

A piebald Is an animal, usually a mammal such as a white-tailed deer or horse having a spotting pattern of large white and black patches. A genetic variation (defect) produces the piebald condition in white-tailed deer, not parasites or diseases. Sometimes they appear almost entirely white. In addition to this coloration, many have some of the following observable conditions: bowing of the nose (Roman nose), short legs, arching spine (scoliosis), and short lower jaws. This genetic condition is rare with typically less than one percent of white-tailed deer being affected.
