Rare Piebald deer spotted in Chester County backyard

SPRING CITY, Pa. (WPVI) -- A rare-colored deer was spotted in a backyard in Chester County.

Action News viewer Julian Bozzelli sent in this video, showing a rare piebald deer in his yard in Spring City.

Earlier this week, another piebald deer was spotted on a Ring doorbell camera in East Stroudsburg in the Poconos.

The discoloration is due to a genetic mutation that affects less than 1% of the white-tailed deer population.
