Melanistic (black) deer in central Texas

This is a white-tailed buck deer that got too much melanin. They are fairly rare, and the majority of them are found in an eight-county area in Texas. Notice he's still in velvet.

I’m having trouble telling if you’re being sincere or just trolling for fun. If you are just joking Ha Ha Ha everyone had a big laugh but if you being genuine that’s sad because you have a fundamental lack of understanding about how the world works and even worst you a have diluted yourself in to thinking that you are right & everyone else around you is wrong despite whatever facts or logic they may show you, either way nice to talking to you and have a nice life. Bye

@RareHonesty

none of that is true, you have a serious lack of knowledge.

Please don't spam, unless you have the ham.

Black white tail deer do not come from Africa they are the result of a recessive/defective gene that cause the deer's coat to have way too much melanin which gives it that dark/black appearance and they are perfectly capable of jumping just like any other deer. Black white tailed deer are just basically the reverse of an albino and are extremely rare. The fact that they are found in one particular area means that this gene is just more prevalent in that gene pool.

Are you stupid, that was a huge exageration, black deer are not some sort of near extinct on in a million deer.

What he said was based on a biased opinion of one location, most people don't see them because they don't jump fences because they have bad jumping abilities; they crawl.

So they can't really switch ranches.

They come from africa, where there isn't anything to jump, so they evolved to not need to jump.

you're the one talking shit by starting stuff.
