Thank You very much for that treat. I wonder if Albinos breed Albinos

Quote:

Because albinism is a recessive trait, both deer must carry the gene before it can occur in their offspring. An albino deer bred to another albino would have only albinos. An albino bred to a normal deer with no recessive genes for albinism would produce all normally pigmented white-tailed deer. Offspring from this cross would carry the recessive gene for albinism but would be normally colored.

When carriers of albinism breed there is a one-in-four chance they will produce an albino fawn. As I mentioned earlier, recessive genetic traits typically become less common unless they confer a survival advantage or are artificially enhanced through selective breeding.

That is for white-tail deer but I imagine it would be the same..

I read an artical a good while back about a whole herd of albino deer up in New York I think it was on a army base.​

They say that human 'red heads' will soon be as rare as albinos....

Glad I'm married to a red head and have a little girl with red hair!

It's rare to just see a moose in Wisconsin. There is not many here. Only about a handful or so in the state. So to see that......Wow! Even in the UP there are not many. They are saying that the moose are migrating south from Canada in hopes to find more food. They say with the climate and colder winters lately, they are swimming accross and walking the ice.

Great pic.
