Rare Piebald Deer Spotted in Spring City Backyard

SPRING CITY, PA — A Chester County resident captured video of an unusually colored white-tailed deer in his Spring City backyard this week, marking the second reported sighting of such an animal in Pennsylvania in recent days. Julian Bozzelli recorded footage of the piebald deer, which displays distinctive white and brown patches across its coat.

The rare coloring results from a genetic mutation that disrupts normal melanin production, affecting less than 1% of the white-tailed deer population according to wildlife biologists. Unlike albino deer, which are completely white with pink eyes, piebald animals retain some natural coloring and typically have dark eyes. The extent of white patterning varies considerably among individual piebald deer.

Earlier in the week, a separate piebald deer was recorded on a doorbell camera in East Stroudsburg in the Pocono Mountains, suggesting these rare animals may be more present in Pennsylvania than their low occurrence rate would indicate, or that increased home surveillance technology is simply documenting wildlife encounters more frequently.
