Hilary Powell, a farmer and surrogate mother to the fawn, told the news agency that Dragon had been abandoned by her mother. Perhaps because he was born with a white face that made it difficult to survive in the wild. “In the wild, they are very, very rare,” Powell said of Dragons.

The baby deer’s mother, a doe named Bunny, was a white-tailed deer. Born with bright blue eyes and a pink nose, Dragon was rejected after birth perhaps because he didn’t resemble other fawns, Powell told MLive.com. “Normally they have black noses,” Powell told Fox 17.

“[A pink nose] is actually a disadvantage in nature, because without shade, their nose is very sensitive to the sun and can get sunburned.”

But baby Dragon is currently being cared for with a lot of love. Powell and his family will continue to bottle-feed the boy until he is ready to meet the farm visitors and participate in deer games.
