Tennessee residents are in for a treat as a white deer has been sighted in the state. But hold your horses, it is no ordinary deer. According to wildlife officials, the white deer is believed to be a non-native and has left residents baffled.
The deer, which looks like it was bleached to perfection, was first spotted by avid hunters on a morning hunt. Reports say that the hunters mistook it for a hallucination and even debated leaving the forest for fear of encountering other illusions.
However, curiosity got the better of them, and they decided to trail the deer. They trailed it for hours until they finally got close enough to verify that their eyes weren’t playing tricks on them.
“I’ve been hunting in these woods for over 30 years, and I’ve never seen anything like it,” gushed one of the hunters.
Wildlife officials were alerted, and they quickly arrived on the scene with their cameras and gadgets for documentation purposes. They found the deer grazing on some leaves, which raised questions about its diet.
Speculations are that the deer may have quit its usual diet for something fresher and more exotic. Sources say that it may be getting its fill from expensive gardens in the affluent neighborhoods within the area.
The sighting of this deer has left the community in disbelief as there has never been any documentation of a white deer in Tennessee. Many across the state are still trying to wrap their heads around the sudden appearance of what seems to be an “outsider.”
One concerned citizen even took to social media, questioning whether the deer had other motives for being in the town.
“Has anyone thought that this deer may be up to no good? It just pops up from nowhere, and we are supposed to accept it? Can we at least verify what it is going to take from us before we sing its praises?” the post read.
The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency has come forward to assure the community that the deer poses no harm and that it has no connection to any criminal activities.
Even with the assurance, many Tennesseans are still skeptical, and rumors are circulating that the deer may be part of a larger agenda only known to a few.
News outlets have already reached out to experts in the zoological field to get their views on what the sighting means for the state. One expert predictively commented that the deer’s presence is a sign of climate change and an imminent apocalypse.
As the debate on the deer’s origin continues, it seems the white deer is winning due to its beauty and charm. Residents have even gone as far as naming it “Snowy” and have started a petition to make its sighting a yearly event.
Love it or hate it, the white deer is here to stay, and if we are lucky, it might show up in another town or city. Who knows, maybe it is a messenger of good tidings. All we can do now is wait and see.
