A rare albino roe deer that was struck by a car in northern Greece has been released back into the wild after a 15-day recovery that vets described as complete. The young female, two to three years old, was hit on a provincial road in the Imathia region and left with severe head trauma and total temporary blindness. The driver reported the collision to the local forestry department, which contacted the ANIMA Wildlife Protection Association. The animal was rushed to a veterinary clinic, stabilized, and placed in strict isolation to reduce stress and allow the brain swelling to subside. What makes this deer unusual is her condition. She has complete albinism, meaning a snow-white coat, pink eyes, and light pink hooves. Despite how visible that makes her to predators, she had already survived to adulthood on her own in the Imathia mountains before the accident. During her first days in care, the disoriented deer walked in continuous circles, a sign of neurological distress that kept staff on edge. Over the following two weeks, her vision returned fully and every neurological symptom cleared. ANIMA staff and Imathia forestry rangers drove her back to the specific mountain foothills where she had lived. The moment handlers opened the enclosure, she bolted and disappeared into the dense bushes. Wildlife experts say she is expected to resume normal life in the wild. #Greece #Wildlife #Imathia
