On this bonus Dr. Steve Ditchkoff of Auburn University joins us to explain the phenomenon piebald deer. We’ve all either experienced one in the wild or seen a picture on social media. They can be odd looking deer with short legs, humped noses, noticeable overbite and they can also be beautiful animals with white colorations that range from just a few spots to almost total coverage. Are the genetically inferior? Should we shoot them? Are they protected? What other animals can be piebald? It’s an interesting discussion with great information. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.
