Piebald spotted in the wild

We have had a we around here they are highly sought after by most hunters(including myself). its very rare and unusual to see them it doesnt happen often. they are truly a georgous animal.

Sounds very doubtful. I don't know what would trigger an animal fighting for survival to not take an animal because of its coat color.



I hope you're kidding. First of all, not all predators are killed - well, I don't know where you live, but there are plenty of deer killed everyday by wild animals in the United States. Also, how would it benefit the animal to be more visual if there weren't any predators?

Sorry, maybe I should have said MOST predators have been killed.

The primary predator (excluding hunters) for deer are cars. More visable = less likely to be hit by a car.

Here we tend to call them calicos more than piebalds. Though usually its a sign of inbreeding in the population was what i was always taught.

how come dachshunds are called dapple but other animals are piebald?

[RichsBallPythons]

Def not called piedbalds thats for sure.

Here i see maybe 1-2 a season which we call Albino Martins
