MOAB, Utah – The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources just posted this adorable video.

According to the Facebook post, Clint Costanza spotted this melanistic fawn in Moab the other day.

The young deer was trapped in a fenced area while its mother was on the other side.

DWR said Clint helped guide the fawn to its mother.

Melanistic deer, which overproduce melanin, the pigment that turns their hair black, are much rarer than all-white or piebald deer, the DWR said.
