A Florida wildlife techician says that he logged two hermaphodite deer in two days--and he has only logged a total of three in all the 27 years that he has been logging deer.
Though deer are not an indicator species, it is odd that there are two of these very rare malformations shot in a very short period of time. Certain indicator species, like frogs, show these types of changes when there are significant environmental pressures (such as sewage and farm runoff into their grow ponds). Could mammals in Florida be showing these changes too?
