A herd of rare white deer, which for decades it was almost impossible to see now will show everyone during the bus tour.
The deer settled on the territory of the former warehouses of weapons of world war II in upstate new York in the Finger Lakes.
As told to the Associated Press, the tour organizer, Dennis Manya, President of Seneca White Deer, in this area in 7 thousand acres to the southwest of Syracuse was built a military depot in 1941. The warehouses were closed in 2000 year and since then concrete bunkers overgrown with trees and flowers and became a refuge for 200 white deer.
«Although in recent years their number has decreased to approximately 75, this spring we discovered a new deer in this area, not only white,» says Dennis, who is engaged in eco-tourism and try to save rare animals for 20 years.
White deer — not albino, but a genetic variation of the ordinary for America white-tailed (virgin) deer. They are extremely rare in the wild because the color makes them easy targets for predators and hunters.
Eco-tours will begin in the fall. «White stag is a real treasure, and show that treasure to the people, is a dream come true,» adds Danny Mania.
