Title: Awesome looking Moose
Post by: blacktailer on March 21, 2012, 09:25:12 AM: Haven't personally seen these posted yet. Got them from a taxidermist buddy up in Cranbrook, BC. Not sure if the moose was from that area or ??? but he is definately a unique piebald, pinto, paint walleyed or whatever you wanna call him.

Post by: Moose22 on March 21, 2012, 06:03:47 PM: Maybe found a BC bud grow-op. There's another reason to stay away from that stuff.

Post by: huntnnw on March 21, 2012, 10:39:31 PM: that trait is usually due to interbreeding...to many moose in that area I bet

Post by: boneaddict on March 22, 2012, 07:14:28 AM: There is a herd of albino ones right outside cranbrook. Very easy to get piebald ones if one mates with fertile "albino" one. Curious about the eye. That is indeed an appaloosa trait. Not an albino trait. Really pretty cool!

Post by: luvtohnt on March 22, 2012, 07:46:28 AM: Piebald has nothing to do with inbreeding. It is all about gene expression.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piebald

Bone, it also mentions in that article that because it has to do with a skin pigmentation allele that the eyes can and will reflect the color of the skin around it. I looked back at the pictures and it has dark skin around the eye, maybe it has lighter skin in close to the eye we can't see. :dunno:

Also in the article it says that magpies get their name from the black and white coloring, and also the bald eagles name is derived from the contrast of white head and dark body!
