A piebald deer...

	I hate to be a skeptic but the physiology seems wrong for a White-tail Deer. This animal has a physical appearance more reminiscent of a goat. Notice the abdomen broader and deeper than the chest. Also notice the slope from nose to forehead and the position of the ears.

	We live on the other side of the US from you but we have a piebald buck in our neighborhood. I assume that since we live on a peninsula and have a pretty small population that this may be caused by inbreeding within the herd. Really weird though.
