North Carolina (USA) has white deer in some rural and suburban areas. This picture shows a mother and her twins in rural Person County, NC. These deer have blue eyes, not pink or red, making them leucistic, not albino.

Paul Tazewell did great work on the costume designs for the film Wicked. His design for Elphaba’s coat collar reminds me of this picture of my great-aunt. 🤭
