Ely tried to look in the same direction. Yes, this deer is indeed a doe, she thought. Unlike most types of deer on Earth, the females do not have antlers. Moreover, white-tailed deer species.
"Hey, you think this doe is a creature engineered by Federation scientists?"
Aldi shook his head. "I don't think so," he said. "You still remember what the coconut tree we met last afternoon looks like, don't you?"
Ellie nodded. "Yeah."
"Well," said Aldi. "I think it's the natural conditions of the planet itself that have changed the physical form of the coconut tree, as well as this deer."
"Or, is it possible that this deer is an original creature of this planet?"
Aldi shrugged his shoulders. "Who can tell?" he stood up. "In the past, Federation scientists said they found a new planet that could sustain life. They may have been testing life on the planet, I bet."
