Unusual wildlife sighting

A piebald deer has been spotted roaming around southern Logan County. Often confused with an albino, a piebald whitetail deer is slightly more common and is also a genetic mutation. Piebald deer can have varying amounts of white hair. Some piebald deer can be almost pure white except small patches of regular brown hair, while others carry just patches of white hair with otherwise normal markings. Studies show less than 2 percent of whitetails are piebald. (SUBMITTED PHOTO)
