Dragon House it’s already on fire. Literally. Although King Viserys remains determined to have his daughter Rhaenyra as his successor, neither his advisors nor many of his subjects seem willing to let that happen. Many consider Prince Aegon, whose second name day is celebrated in the third chapter of the series, as the best candidate. The hunt held in his honor is marked by the presence of white deer. Participants of the event eagerly look for it, as hunting for one of these animals is considered a good omen. This may have been a sign of the prosperity of Aegon’s supposed reign.

It is mostly considered a good omen because it is rare and in what is not far from real life. Now that seeing a white deer is rare, that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Yes, they exist and, in fact, not all albinos.

There are no completely white species, as might happen, for example, with Arctic fox. But they may have the genetic make-up that gives them a completely white coat, but without the other qualities of an albino animal. This is the case, for example, with a herd living for decades in an old Army depot in New York. Of course, characters Dragon House they would go crazy with joy in such a place.

House of the Dragon is a new series in the Game of Thrones universe.

albino white deer

Albinism is a genetic disorder in which some animals they cannot synthesize melaninwhich is the pigment responsible for the dark color.

As a result they have white skin and hair and even Red eyes. The latter is due to the fact that with a lack of melanin, which darkens the iris of the eyes, the color of the vessels inside is directly reflected. There can be all kinds of albino animals. However, this is best seen in mammals, as other classes can also have pigments other than melanin that prevent them from being completely white.

Coming back to mammals, it is quite common for some to have albinos. This is, for example, the case rabbits. As for deer, they are somewhat rarer. It must be said that there are many species and that there is no data on all of them. The one who has more information about this is white tailed deer (Odocoileus virginus). It is estimated that 1 out of 30,000 of these animals is born albino, so they have much more white than on the tail.

They are not very common and, unfortunately, very difficult for them to survive, mainly because with such a color they find disguise impossible. In addition, like other albinos, they usually have vision problems, so they cannot run away or avoid their predators properly.

In addition to albinism and the “House of the Dragon”

Although there is a moment when a fairly close shot of a white deer is taken in the frame. Dragon House, his eye color is not fully appreciated. Initially they don’t look redso we can think that he is not an albino. Of course, there are other possibilities as well.

Just look at the herd of deer that lives in the Seneca Army Depot in New York. They also whitetail deer, but they are not albinos. They just express option recessive genes which give them that characteristic coat without affecting other parts of the body other than the hair.

That they are recessive genes means that for their result to be visible, the affected gene must be inherited. and father and mother. It’s not worth just one. If they were free, it would lead to more variety. However, being in a closed environment enhances inbreeding and greatly facilitates the spread of these genes.

Therefore, although dragons do not exist, in Dragon House yes, some real animals show up. white deer is a good example of this. Of course, if you ever find him, do like Rainier and leave him alone.
