Michigan man spots rare "pitch black" deer


A Michigan man found the rarest of deer in his own backyard!

John Roach of Bellaire posted a photo of two deer on his property, one of which was "pitch black." He said he took two photos before the deer ran off.

The black deer, called a "melanistic" deer, is considered to be even more rare than an albino deer. The Quality Deer Management Association said there is little known about the condition, other than it is a random genetic anamoly.
I see a lot of critters up here but I have never seen nor even heard of one of these. I was taking my trailer back to my pole barn property yesterday and so drove past the driveway in order to back in. As I looked to my left I saw 2 deer in the lane that runs to the back of the property- nothing unusual except that one was typical and one was pitch black. I had my phone on the seat and was able to get 2 good shots of them before they ran to the pines to the west. I hope that you can zoom the picture to see it up close.
