An Extremely Rare Deer
One family in North Carolina was amazed by the sight of a stunning creature in their yard. The animal was so magnificent, a child in the home wondered if it belonged to Santa Claus!
The family lives in a north Raleigh neighborhood. They sent a video to WRAL.com of a special deer taking a stroll through their yard. What made this deer so special is the fact it was albino. That means it completely lacked any pigmentation. In other words, it had white fur.
Albino deer are extraordinarily rare. WRAL.com states that only 1 in every 30,000 deer are albino.

The albino deer that walked through this North Carolina family’s yard appeared to be a young buck. It was sporting a small rack of antlers.
It Was An Amazing Sight
“The video sent by a WRAL viewer truly captures the magic of seeing this white deer in the wild,” WRAL.com wrote about the video the family filmed of the albino buck in their yard.
The clip is short, but shows how mesmerized at least one family member was when they saw the deer walk by. As the person holding the camera films, you can hear a child in the background ask, “Is that Santa’s deer?“
They then repeat themselves, saying it more as a statement of fact. “Mama it’s Santa’s deer!” they exclaim. Listen to their excitement when you watch the video of the deer below.
We’d be just as ecstatic if we saw an albino deer in our yard!
