Fun Fact Friday! It is rare for someone to see an albino or piebald white-tailed deer, but it is extremely rare to see a melanistic white-tailed deer in Connecticut! Dave captured this video of a melanistic white-tailed deer while in his backyard. The deer's dark appearance is caused by the overproduction of the skin, hair, and retina pigment known as melanin. Thank you again, Dave, for sharing your video of this unique deer! | Connecticut Fish and Wildlife
