Apparently a farmer somewhere built an electric fence to keep livestock in or out.  This big fella apparently tried to go under it with a full belly and when he felt the shock, he turned and bit whatever was getting to him.  Needless to say, his days of stealing small livestock are over.

Albino Fawn from folks who live on Bolivar Peninsula, Texas A very eventful day around here... A once in many lifetimes experience!  This lil' feller run out in front of a car and looked like a lost,  baby goat. A real Albino Whitetail Deer! Just hours old, but doing fine. No Momma deer around. Another car nearly hit it.   Only 1 in more than a million albino deer are even born. He took his  bottle of food, followed us around the house, doing great. The folks who found him called  the Zoo & Fossil Rim, who were both interested, but were going to send him to a Rehab farm, at a vet that they never had gotten along with... So, they called a family friend who happened to be the  Game Warden who took him to a safe place. He was snow white, pink eyes, ears, nose and hooves. The kids called him POWDER. He was SO small as seen by the shoe lying beside him... WOW..how cool is that?? Also be sure to check out this albino hummingbird .
