SEE IT: Unique deer making rounds in local community
NORTH OLMSTED, Ohio (WJW) — A unique fawn appears to be making its rounds in North Olmsted. FOX 8 viewer Mat Hendricks sent us video of the baby deer, which is nearly all white except for a few dark patches around its eyes. Hendricks said the fawn was spotted on Tuesday, July 15 near Lorain Road. STEP INSIDE: Ohio's most expensive home needs a buyer A few weeks earlier, another FOX 8 viewer submitted a similar video of what appears to be the same young deer, spotted nearby along Gessner Road. Both viewers said the eye-catching deer was with its mom and sibling. The unique genetic trait may be getting passed along through the generations of deer in the area. Ominous cloud over NE Ohio: What was it? In November 2024, a similar deer was spotted, also along Lorain Road. At the time, FOX 8 reported that, according to ODNR Wildlife Communications Specialist Monika Bowman Bell, the deer most likely has a pigmentation anomaly called leucism, or the partial absence of melanin in the animal. According to Bell, unlike albinism, which is a complete lack of melanin, including the eyes, leucistic animal eyes are typically unaffected and they may have dark hooves or other coloration, like spots.

Healed after being hit by a car, B.C. fawn reunites with mother
A rescued fawn is seen in this image from the B.C. SPCA Wild Animal Rehabilitation Centre Facebook page. After recovering in the care of the B.C. SPCA's Wild Animal Rehabilitation Centre in Victoria, an adorable fawn is back in the wild with its mother. The baby deer was hit by a car and spent several days healing from head injuries and other internal trauma, the organization said in a social media post last week. The charity explained that reuniting fawns with their mothers is difficult and time sensitive, as does will only respond to their own babies. 'Our expert team was ready for the task and quickly tracked down this fawn's mother,' the post reads. 'At the right place and at the right time, the fawn immediately ran up to the doe, and our team was thrilled to witness this beautiful reunion.' Fawn A fawn reunites with its mother in this image posted to the B.C. SPCA Wild Animal Rehabilitation Centre Facebook page. While this particular fawn needed the rescuers' help, Wild ARC said well-intentioned but mistaken people commonly call the organization about 'orphaned' deer or even bring healthy fawns to the centre—a phenomenon it calls 'accidental fawn-napping.' The organization says it's normal for mother deer to leave their fawns alone for long periods of time while looking for food. Signs a fawn needs help and a call to the B.C. SPCA or another wildlife rescue is warranted include if it hasn't moved from its spot for 24 hours, is crying continuously, wandering aimlessly, looks injured, or is in an unsafe location, like on the road.

Adam Ludwar says he got up with his seven-month-old daughter Ori just before 6 a.m., later noticing an adult deer was just outside their Oakridge home. 'As I walked up closer to the door to show her, we saw that it had just recently -- probably within 10-15 minutes -- had a fawn,' 'It was pretty neat,' Ludwar added. 'My first thought was to go wake up my wife Alaina (Schreiner).' 'She was obviously very excited. The first thing she mentioned [was] having a newborn in our house and having another one on the lot.'
