The Ghost Deer
Season 31
Episode 12
About the Episode
For whitetailed deer, one of the rarest variations of all is color. The ghost deer are colored completely white due to a lack of melanin, a natural pigment found in most organisms. It's a rare recessive gene; and, like humans, only about one out of 20,000 mammals are albino.
