Cool things I've learned today
About Albino Dalmatians:
- They actually have barely perceptible spots on their skins, under their fur.
- Most of them are born deaf.
and the coolest fact yet:
- They can be trained with hand signals!!!
and...
About the Kermode (or 'Spirit') Bear:
- First of all, a Kermode bear is basically a black bear that happens to be, not black, but white. The cool thing is that this does NOT make it an albino. The unusual colour of the Kermode bear is a genetic fluke, nothing else. As I understand it, the annomaly happens when both of the bear's parents happen to have a recesive gene that they both pass on to the cub, resulting on the gene becoming dominant and the bear being born white.
Very cool info all around. =)
