Melanistic deer (black whitetail deer) - white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus)


A melanistic whitetail fawn. Excessive levels of the melanism pigment are very rarely observed in white-tailed deer: the genetic basis of this phenomenon is unknown. Photo by C. Graham; courtesy of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
