Chapter 249 - 247: A Rare Fawn Is Born—A Pure White Sika Deer!
In the afternoon, Jiang Feng changed into a set of professional, dust-free medical attire.
Veterinarian Lin Wansen was dressed in the same outfit.
The two were in a separate room in the Deer Shed, preparing to assist the mother deer in giving birth.
A drone was livestreaming from outside.
The ranch is a place where life begins and also where it ends.
Today, a fawn is about to be born.
Jiang Feng was looking forward to this fawn, after all, it was the one he selected with the gene selector, the best genetically among the thousands of Sika Deer in the Deer Shed.
This kind of Sika Deer must be exceptionally beautiful.
Jiang Feng hoped it would be a male deer.
Without antler cutting, a stag’s antlers keep growing until they naturally fall off.
A stag with antlers is especially majestic and impressive.
The mother deer lay on the ground, panting continuously.
It was the time for labor.
Jiang Feng helped soothe the mother deer’s belly.
Soon, the mother deer began to push hard for the birth.
The fawn’s head emerged first, then its entire body was born.
Lin Wansen hurriedly began to clean the fawn’s body with warm water.
At this moment, Lin Wansen paused, slightly stunned.
He looked at the fawn on the ground in disbelief.
This Sika Deer was a rare white deer, without any markings, only covered in white fur.
"It’s a pure white deer, my God, this is an incredibly rare white deer!"
Lin Wansen exclaimed while cleaning the fawn’s body.
Jiang Feng was also a bit surprised.
Soon after, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.
Looking at the newborn pure white deer, his affection grew stronger, wishing for the white deer to grow up quickly.
Albinism in animals is not uncommon, it appears among mammalian populations.
For instance, white tigers, white lions, and even white pandas.
These are all results of genetic mutation.
Leopards are rather exceptional, with albinism gene mutations resulting in completely black fur.
The black panther is not a separate species but a variant of a certain leopard.
Likewise, Sika Deer also have albinism.
The most famous are the animals from Shennongjia, where due to the environment, many animals including monkeys have albinism.
Sometimes, amidst the thick mountain fog, people see a pure white deer leaping through the forest, as if in a fairyland.
And now, a white fawn was born on Jiang Feng’s ranch.
"It’s a pure white fawn, I knew when I saw this mother deer on the ranch that I was destined to meet it."
"Truly, there is destiny at work."
Jiang Feng said with a smile.
Of course, he said this also to avoid some trouble; selecting this mother deer was entirely due to the gene selector.
The little Sika Deer hadn’t opened its eyes yet, shakily moving to the mother deer’s side.
The mother deer embraced it, gently licking the fawn’s fur.
The viewers in the livestream room were also stunned by this scene.
[Oh my! Another rare event at the ranch!]
[There’s actually a pure white Sika Deer? Is it an Immortal Beast?]
[Unbelievable! The ranch’s Feng Shui must be exceptional!]
[A pure white deer? The owner struck gold, such a rare treasure!]
[It’s unknown how long until the Deer Shed produces another pure white deer, the owner just bought one, such incredible luck!]
The comments kept pouring in.
This little Sika Deer, just after being born, garnered countless praises.
Without a doubt, the little Sika Deer attracted a big wave of fans.
Many people who love animals become attracted and occasionally keep track.
For instance, Little July on the ranch now.
Little July’s mother died a few days after its birth, the little one had a hard time surviving, but it thrived under the care of the ranch staff, confident and optimistic.
Many viewers were delighted to see Little July.
Many often left comments, wanting to see more of July.
And now, another little creature that caught everyone’s attention was born.
A white deer.
With such animal cubs, naturally people hope it grows quickly, showing might and brilliance.
The fawn rested peacefully beside the mother deer.
Though just born, it could already open its eyes.
Sika Deer are not very maternal, some even abandon their fawns.
The fawns in the Deer Shed are all raised by staff.
The little Sika Deer are particularly close to humans, never resisting, even actively being held in their arms and fed.
These little creatures are very suitable to be kept as pets.
Jiang Feng already prepared a bottle of milk.
He walked over, crouched beside the mother deer, and offered the nipple to the little Sika Deer.
The fawn, smelling the milk, immediately raised its head and started drinking excitedly.
This was its first meal, its very first bite of life.
The little one’s appearance was adorable and lively.
The more viewers watched, the more envious they became.
[Is it really a white deer? I doubt it’s special effects!]
[Number of Cute Animals on the Ranch +1]
[This is too amazing!]
Jiang Feng finished feeding the milk from the bottle and looked at the little deer, gently saying:
"Now the white fawn is just born. We need to take good care of it."
"The white deer doesn’t look too impressive right now, but they get cuter as they grow, reaching their peak beauty when they’re adults."
"Let’s let it stay with its mother for a while, and tonight we’ll prepare a separate room for it."
"This is because the mother deer doesn’t always know her strength, and sometimes her hundred-pound body can step on the fawn, causing permanent leg fractures."
"It’s better to watch it separately."
"Typically, sika deer fawns are taken care of together."
After feeding, Jiang Feng was about to stand up and leave.
At that moment, Ma He walked over from outside the room and said:
"Rancher, that other doe is bleeding too. It looks like she’s about to give birth."
"You and Dr. Lin should check it out."
Hearing this, Jiang Feng quickly walked out of the room to check the other doe’s situation.
Just as Ma He said, the two does they bought back were both giving birth today for some reason.
This luck is something else.
"Just right, the little white deer will have a friend!"
Jiang Feng hurriedly arranged for the delivery of the second doe.
The delivery went smoothly, and this time a regular little sika deer was born.
The little sika deer, as soon as it was born, had very visible spots and looked quite cute.
At this moment, the white deer’s appearance wasn’t as striking, resembling a white puppy.
But it’ll look good once it grows up.
It will really be like an Immortal Beast.
And this little white deer is male, so it will grow antlers in the future.
That will be perfect.
Jiang Feng cleaned the two little deer and fed them milk.
Then he let them stay with their mothers.
After that, Jiang Feng and Lin Wansen left the pen and changed their clothes.
Jiang Feng went outside the Deer Shed.
The drone was still live-streaming the sika deer in the yard.
Since there’s grass on the ground, some of the sika deer that finished eating corn were still grazing.
They looked a bit grayish, not orange, more like gray-black.
However, over time, the dust in their fur will decrease, and their color will become bright.
"The sika deer are finally here, but there are only thirty of them."
"Selling antlers can make money, but cutting antlers requires anesthesia, and the deer still feel pain, so I’d rather not."
"We’ll just keep them as mascots."
"Of course, they can also be emergency backup food, since I have a legal slaughtering permit," Jiang Feng said.
[Emergency backup food? I suspect you’re making fun of my Big Chopper!]
[Daring to use deer as emergency ration, do you think you’re Luffy?]
[You’re rich, aren’t you? A deer costs over ten thousand, the life of the wealthy is truly unpretentious and simple!]
[Ranch owner, draw lots to give out some antlers! I want to taste them!]
The online followers responded one after another.
Jiang Feng’s ranch was becoming livelier.
These domesticated sika deer quickly adapted to the ranch environment.
In a few days, Jiang Feng planned to release them so they could go play in the grasslands and enjoy the treatment of wild sika deer.
Wild sika deer are a first-class protected species, and they enjoy a very high protection level. Domestically raised sika deer are livestock and can be slaughtered. The treatment is vastly different.
But Jiang Feng’s place is very large, so the difference between keeping them at home and in the wild isn’t much.
That evening, the two little sika deer were placed in a room adjacent to the doe with a slatted door between them, allowing the doe to see her fawn inside.
The two fawns slept on a soft bed, quite peacefully.
The next day, Jiang Feng fed the two fawns milk.
He held the sika deer in his arms, and the deer didn’t resist at all, even snuggling up to humans.
Sika deer are close to people when they’re young, and if you continue to treat them well, they make excellent pets.
Lately, someone in Yunnan has been taking their pet sika deer around town, and the video has gone viral online.
People were shocked to find out these can be domesticated?
Even locals in Yunnan were surprised.
Some say Yunnan is like Little Florida, and over time, many people have accepted this idea.
However, keeping a sika deer requires a small yard and a breeding permit.
Once you get the permit, you can raise them.
The white fawn is very well-behaved; for now, it seems quite adorable and not troublesome at all.
But it’s only a day old, so it’s hard to tell much.
It doesn’t know yet that it was born into a life of plenty.
Its future life is worry-free, with no more anxieties.
After drinking a bottle of milk, the little cub could already stand up and run around.
However, its movements are still slow.
Jiang Feng placed the fawn back beside its mother.
The mother deer looked at her baby affectionately.
Jiang Feng continuously watched to ensure that these two does were responsible mothers, allowing him to entrust the fawns’ care to them with peace of mind.
The fawns will slowly grow up.
Eventually, they will captivate everyone.
