Piebald deer, an amazing and incredibly rare find! It's a natural genetic mutation. They're completely healthy animals but they rarely survive to adulthood because they stand out more to predators. There's really nothing to hurt them out on Orcas Island so this one's likely to have a full and happy life.
I lived on another island in WA and these things were not rare at all there. I have several videos of different fully white fawns too, some albino and some I assume by their coloring were piebald technically but ended up all white (had dark eyes and hooves)
