The piebald gene does show up in numerous animals and guess what some humans have the piebald gene. I guess the Shih Tzu really gets around doesn't it. |
But it does make this deer easier to spot in the wild, thus making it easier to catch and kill - as seem by this hunter's trophy kill. This deer no longer had its camoflauge color to help protect it in the wild. There are many other animals that are not born with it own specific color and it usually does not last long in the wild.
There are also albinos in this world and they most always have problems with their eye sight.
