Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Black wild rabbits - or any other creature not normally black - is perfectly legit. It's a 'freak' gene which causes a condition known to science as " Melanism ". So these are 'Melanistic' rabbits. Leopards throw this gene. They get called " Black Panthers ". But they're still just leopards Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Can you get melanistic pheasants as well? Seem to have heard it before Funnily enough, Pat; It was while working on a Game Farm that I first became aware of melanistics. Because we did indeed have several melanistic pheasents. Then there was a big craze for " Leuticsm " (spelling?) in the reptile fancy, not so many years ago. A 'Leutistic' creature lacks pigmentation. Thus ye'd have pythons which, where they should have been brown and gold, were more coffee and yellow. Like albino ferrets, only without the pink eyes. But ye know how the sebacious glandular activity messes up an albino ferrets snow white fur and stains it yellow? Ok. Well these snakes and lizards were like that. Not clean white. Not 'proper' albino. Without dragging this on into crippling boredon; Ericacion is another. That's Red. Ye know how badgers are black and white? Yet ye've surely seen - at least stuffed - examples where the stripes are sort of gingery / rust coloured? Ericacious badgers I'm sure there's a 'proper' name for Blues etc. too. Google?
