I receive a lot of pictures of weird things. Thought I’d post a few of them here.
Here’s a strange looking beast. This “Blue” Whitetail Buck was taken on Christmas Eve 2007 in Texas. The best explanation of his color so far is something called Luecism. Leucism is a condition characterized by reduced pigmentation in animals and humans. Unlike albinism, it is caused by a reduction in all types of skin pigment, not just melanin.
Check out the Albino category on the left for even more wonderful animals that have Albinism — or even a BLACK Whitetail…
Looks like this black bear was hungry enough to try a little tight rope crawling. Isn’t it amazing how creative these animals are?

Here are some pics of a school of bull reds schooling of the coast. I didn’t get all the back story on these photos so I don’t know if they are local to Texas or not. Along the Gulf Coast, particularly Texas Gulf Coast, Redfish are a prized catch. They usually are caught in the bays along the coast. The best time for catching the big ones is in the fall as they move into the bays for spawning. After spawning they head back out to the open water where, apparently, they school up as evidenced by the photos below.
Check out this video of a doe that protects her fawn from some local pets. Interesting to see the house cat try to mark the fawn with scent. Mama doe doesn’t take to kindly to it. The dog receives a nice butt whipping Sends the cat running, too.
