Rare White-Faced Fawn Finds Happiness at Animal Farm after Being Rejected by Mom at Birth!
That is the cutest baby deer I’ve ever seen in my life! Just look how adorable she is! An extremely adorable fawn abandoned shortly after birth has finally found comfort at a local farm. The baby deer was rejected by her own mom because she was born with a very unusual feature on her face.
The one and a half-week-old fawn was born with a very rare condition called piebald. Unlike albinism or melanism, piebald occurs when an animal has large patches on its body without pigmentation. The little one is named Dragon.
Absolutely stunning! Beautiful eyes looking back…!
Dragon was born at Deer Tracks Junction, a farm in Cedar Springs, Michigan, and due to her condition, her mom abandoned her shortly after birth. Fortunately, she’s now thriving thanks to the kind people that look after her. So pretty, bless, absolutely gorgeous!
Animals that suffer from this rare condition are very often rejected by their groups, and even worse, they’re extremely vulnerable in front of predators due to their lack of camouflage. The white, on the other hand, makes Dragon stand out, so she can’t hide from predators, and she can’t hear or see as well as a regular deer, so she can’t hear or see danger coming.
It is beautiful, but it is also a birth defect that would prevent the fawn from camouflaging and would attract predators. Thankfully, at the farm she lives, she has all the ingredients for a long happy life!
We’re well happy that she has a wonderful new home at the animal farm. It makes me smile when I see animals happy again.
