I have a friend that takes care of wildlife out in the USA.
He sent me this picture today. The mother was killed by a car so he has taken this little guy in. :)

Looks like an albino....absolutely beautiful....I hope it survives :)
the sun was on my screen and when i first read your post i thought it said mum was killed by a cat :o i thought it must have been a big bluddy cat !!!
poor wee soul looks scared to death. hope it fairs well.
Albinos are usually supposed to be weaker, aren't they?
I too, hope it survives.
He is doing fine everyone. He is taking his bottle ok and he has a nice home to go to when he is a bit stronger. He will be kept with other orphaned fawns but will stay instead of being released into the wild. :)
What a little sweetie!
Isn't he lovely. I could just pick him up and cuddle him. :-* :-*
Not sure that albino's are weaker, rather they don't survive because they're not camoflaged. Sometimes their eyes are affected and they are almost blind which makes them more vulnerable.
Unless of course they live in snowy conditions in which case, no problemo.
