A rare piebald fawn was born at Deer Tracks Junction in Cedar Springs, Michigan recently. The fawn was named “Dragon” by workers, who are taking care of him after he was rejected by his mother.

Only 1 percent of whitetail fawns are born piebald, or with large patches of unpigmented skin. Their chance of survival in the wild is minimal.
