The fact that the young animal with a rare color variant now lives on the grounds of the Schwyz Nature Park is probably due to confusion.

In the wild deer enclosure and the Goldau Zoo there is a new animal that seems to come from the world of fables: It is a young deer that is almost completely white. The fact that the animal now lives in the zoo and not outdoors is probably due to confusion.
The young animal was turned over to a goat farmer by strangers last spring, apparently under the false assumption that it was a child, the Goldau Animal and Nature Park said Tuesday. The young animal was then raised at the animal park’s rescue station.
Fawns are normally returned to their natural habitat by the zoo after they have been brought to the rescue center. In this case, however, it was resigned. The zoo announced that the deer population in the Goldau forests could have been adulterated if they were released into the wild.
Therefore, the white deer lives together with its normal colored congeners in the zoo. The zoo announced that he was not an albino. Rather, it is a rare color variant. The deer has brown spots on the head.
In the region where the deer comes from, there is a deer population with a special coloration, the zoo announced. They mate with the usual colored deer and are in no way inferior to them in terms of physical strength.
