Even though rare, this is not the first sighting of albino hog deer as in June this year, wildlife photographer Jayanta Kumar Sarma had clicked the picture of a full-grown albino hog deer sporting beautiful horns.

The netizens were delighted with the video with some expressing concern over the safety of this rare creature, while many wanting to catch its glimpse when they visit this park.</p>
