The man observed what he believed to be a lamb on the road, but it turned out to be a very uncommon wild animal.
Imagine yourself driving when all of a sudden you spot a strange animal on the road; it looks like a deer but is all white.
You wouldn’t think it possible, would you?
Now, the same incident occurred to a truck driver in California!
Reportedly, the man observed a white animal laying in the middle of the road, so he applied the brakes.
As he drew closer, she recognized that she was a deer, but all white fur.
Because of his snow-white pelt, the guy originally believed he was a lamb, Shasta Stratton-Quick of the Kindred Spirits Fawn Rescue Association in Loomis, California, told The Dodo.
Being an albino specimen, this fawn has retained its white markings throughout its life, unlike other deer who mature into black.
In addition, the Association stated that while seeing an albino deer among the regulars is not unusual, it is peculiar and incredibly odd to come across a fawn alone. They continued by saying that this was the first white chicken they had ever been given.
The chick, at three weeks old, was incredibly fortunate to avoid being struck by a car when it was on the road. The infant was given the name Spirit by his caretakers.
Spirit is making progress toward a healthy existence with the assistance of a group of experts who are aiding wildlife at a standstill.
Every year, the president of the shelter, Diane Nicholas, takes in orphaned deer that are too weak to live on their own (especially if they are young).
Now, Spirit is performing really well, Stratton-Quirk continued. “Eat to put on weight!”
They aim to get the Spirit ready to be released back into the wilderness over the course of the following six months.
This entails acquiring certain abilities, such how to get his own food and how to mingle with others while grinning.
It brings us immense happiness to learn that because of the California driver, Spirit has been located safe and in good health.
We’re hoping that in the upcoming half-year, she’ll gain more strength and be able to bring her smiles back to the wild!
