Leopard pieds

[OhhWatALoser]

i guess if it proves out, we need to start differentiating between two different kinds of leopard: the one with het pied and the one without het pied.

but i guess for the names to change it will still take a while. if what you say is correct, then its two super leopards that are not pied versus thousands, maybe tens of thousands, of super leopards that are pied.

I think you're way over estimating the amount of super leopards there are. Can we even account for 50? And there nothing that needs name changing, you have leopards and pieds, call them what they are. If its a super leopard pied, thats what it is, no different than anything else. Just make sure people know that it is not allelic like originally thought. More than likely they are closely linked. Best we can do with the information at hand.
