Photos of these rare twin albino whitetails are making the email rounds this morning. We do not know which state this photo came from, but the deer are apparently hanging around near a backyard feeder in a residential area.

Whatever the case might be, this is a good example of albino deer behavior. Both animals are yearlings and are likely still associating with each other because they have been ostracised from the herd. This is common behavor in deer herds...the "normal" deer shun the albinos to the point where the genetically inferior deer act as if they are the outsiders.
