An albino mule deer, well known by some residents of Casper, has died, according to the Wyoming Game and Fish Department.

The doe deer was found dead in a resident's back yard on Thanksgiving Day and was reported to Game and Fish. Warden John Lund responded to the call and says there was no evidence of foul play and he believes the deer died of natural causes.

Biologists are uncertain of the deer's age but Lund remembers seeing her on the west end of town in the area of Robertson Road as far back as 1999.

"So if this is the same deer she was 9 or 10 years old when she died. That is a good long life for a wild deer, especially an albino," he said.
