Heartbreaking pictures of ‘deer with HPV’ covered in large tumors are captured by Minnesota photographer

Daily Mail

A Minnesota photographer unexpectedly captured a deer covered in tumors as she shot portraits in a field and a nature official described it as one of the worst cases she’d seen in 15 years.

Julie Carrow pictured the animal that was covered in so many growths she was unable to see its eyes and it turns out the condition stems from papillomavirus, which is more commonly known as HPV in humans. 

Images of the creature gazing at the camera sparked such a big reaction online that locals were desperate to catch up with it in case it needed help.

Various angles Carrow snapped show the lumps on the deer’s face, neck, chest, belly, legs and rear.
