Re: Opal the Pastel Champagne
Beautiful animal! I think by looking at it, it appears to be a form of what's known as "chimera". Meaning different genes on opposite sides of a organisms body and presenting as different colors ,and affects hair color, limb size. In a more serious form chimera can affect internal organs like the liver and the heart becoming fatally problematic. It's seen in salamanders, frogs and toads also.
