美丽的外表却有个悲伤的故事!绝美白面鹿Dragon

文/妞新闻 河马

动物界中有着奇特外表并不是件好事,因为这代表着牠无法隐身在大自然里,很容易成为猎食者的目标,或是遭到牠的爸爸妈妈弃养,而白面鹿Dragon就是一个例子

Dragon是只患有白斑症小鹿,刚出生时就有一张纯白的脸、粉红色鼻子蓝眼睛

但也是因为这么美丽的外表,不易隐身在树林中,所以刚出生一周的Dragon就这样被鹿妈妈弃养了...

幸好密西根的一家动物休闲农场主人Powell收留了Dragon。

这间动物农场Deer Tracks Junction是在2012年时创办的,饲养了许多宠物,有鹿、迷你猪、驴子等等,主要是提供教育亲子游玩的大自然乐园

经过农场妥善地照顾后,Dragon已经健康长大,而且是农场里最受欢迎的动物。

Dragon这个名字是Powell的儿子取的,原因是其他的动物都已经有很女性化的名字了。

纯白的皮毛在树林里真的很显眼,幸好Dragon能够安全地在农场里长大,不然一定会被猎食者吃掉的!

那粉嫩的小鼻子其实无法被太阳曝晒,很容易就会灼伤。
