ever seen an albino deer?
I got this from a friend of a friend. Somewhere within my six degrees of separation, anyway.

They found this albino deer, that had been abandoned by his mother. Ain't he cute?

1. Yep
I've also seen deer that have very red hair. Of course I didn't have a camera with me when I saw them.

D'oh! Must take camera everywhere!

3. true story
I used to take my camera everywhere. On the very day I saw a UFO in broad daylight, I didn't have my camera with me. That sucks. It was an amazing experience, yet I have no evidence. It happened though, and my girlfriend at the time will tell you the same. Sucks to be me. ;)

6. I have one of those stories too...
Edited on Wed Mar-14-07 03:34 AM by Rocinante
Almost 20 years ago I was in the front yard watering the flowers. I saw something in the corner of my eye and looked around to see a large silver colored cigar shaped object moving at a 45 degree angle at an incredible speed. This was no weather balloon. There was no sound from the object but it moved across the horizon in seconds. It would have scared the shit out of ufo deniers. Just scared shit out of them. Yep.

edit for spelling

2. I used to see a white stag when going to visit my parents...
north of San Antonio. Beautiful animal, all white with a massive head of horns.

12. hmm
I don't think I've ever seen one of those.

Deer piss me off because every time that I try to grow some peppers and tomatoes, they eat them up. But they truly are some beautiful animals.

11. That is a cute fawn! I hope it can go to a wildlife sanctuary.
Here is a photo a friend sent to me of an albino moose that was seen in New Brunswick.

14. I don't know the people personally
But judging that they are friends with the person that forwarded it to me, I'm confident that they are nice people. I think the little guy will be okay.

I think it's illegal here to keep a deer as a pet, but I feel confident that they will fight the man on this one. :)
