This Northern Pacific Tree Frog was spotted in the Willamette National Forest, Oregon in April 2021. This abnormal colouration is called Axanthism, and means a mutation has interfered with the animals ability to produce yellow (and also sometimes red) pigement. We'd then refer to this animal as an axanthic Northern Pacific Tree Frog. (image source)

Pied mutation Eurasian Jackdaw

Finally got good photos of that Eurasian jackdaw with the pied markings. they live round where I live.

They are the reason I keep my camera in my bag permanently (the phone photos were terrible). I'm so happy, I didn't see them for a while and thought they died.

Is there an actual reason why Chris's eyes change colour? They started off blue, then hazel/brown then back to blue again, his eyes are clearly brown Death Island which is set before RE8 but in RE8 his eyes are blue.

Why is it so difficult to be consistent with his eye colour?

#it's kinda bothering me like you'd think they'd be consistent with a main character's eye colour of all things #chris redfield #none of the other main characters have that problem (as far as I know)#well I suppose Wesker is on the same boat now #remake Wesker's eyes are green with orange edges #they're NOT hazel #hazel eyes are brown in the middle and green/blue on the outside #wesker is the opposite; his eyes are green in the middle and orange/brown on the outside #if his eyes ARE hazel then it's not the usual kind of hazel #unless he's wearing contact lenses to hide the fact that he's mutated and to lay low I don't know why they changed his eye colour :/#or he has chromatophores in his eyes and can change the colour of them at will???#or the virus he's infected with has reindeer dna in it or some shit #reindeer eyes change colour to the seasons; golden in the summer and blue in the winter

I don't know much about mutations in animals but I do remember this crazy blue lobster

Now that right there is the bluest creature I've ever seen

YOOOOOOOOO

Do you know that the reason why blue Lobsters are, well, blue is because of a genetic mutation that causes them to create the a LOT of one type of pigment? Yep, apparently that's a thing now.

Also, there's a "blue" mutations in a lot of other animals known as Axanthism, where they are unable to create yellow pigment, and appears blue in normally green animals (Amphibians, reptiles, birds), White in yellow animals and grey in mammals.

Also there's no such thing as an actually blue animal, if we're not counting Mandarinfish. This is because most "blue" animas aren't actually blue: they're brown. The blue colour comes from structural colour, NOT pigments! Mandarinfish, however, does have a blue pigment.

my headcanon for inkfish eye colours is that they can change it but it's not the easy natural thing that changing ink colour is, it tends to settle down so if you don't change it a lot you'll have a lot of trouble with it so if you change your eye colour every week from when you were a kid it would only take you a week but if youre an adult who's never changed it you're gonna be there for like a year+ and it's not gonna be worth it

#this is also affected by colour mutations (so bola who has sepiism is stuck with brown/black eyes even if they wanted to change)#they use yellow contacts when performing as the leftovers squad to complete the look #flora also uses contacts but thats just cause she hasn't changed enough for it to be easy #cb and bubbles already have yellow eyes and they dont have the muscle memory to know how to change it either #cicada screaming #splatoon #headcanon #splatoon headcanon

Hi, @leslapinscretins

In reference to these merged images:

Here are the colours for you. I have included the regular name, rex name and images of them in the mini rex rabbit.

All blue box mini rex photos are from The British Mini Rex Club.

Agouti series

Agouti, chestnut in America. sometimes called Chestnut agouti. This is the wild rabbit colour.

Used to be called Brown grey in the old days, still is used for old breeds like Flemish Giant and Dutch.

Official name is Castor in rex, meaning "beaver". Rex used to be called Castorex until more colours were added.

Opal, this is dilute Agouti, aka. Blue Agouti

Cinnamon, this is Chocolate Agouti, most people don't know this name. Sometimes called Amber in rex.

Lynx, this is dilute Chocolate Agouti, basically dilute Cinnamon or lilac Agouti.

Otter series

Otter, comes in black, blue, chocolate and lilac.

Tan is basically otter with rufous gene, sometimes called Black and tan. But it does come in blue, chocolate and lilac aswell.

Tan is allowed in few breeds like Tan rabbit and Belgian hare. It is usually a disqualification in otter colour rabbit breeds, nicknamed "fire belly".

One of my favourite colours (I love tri and Lutino more though).

Self series

black self, called Smoke in angora rabbits.

blue self, the dilute of black.

Chocolate self, in the past was called brown. Rex is named Havana, after the original chocolate rabbit breed, who in turn is named after the cigar.

lilac self, the dilute of chocolate

Red eyes white (REW), colloquially called White, in rex is called Ermine after the winter coat of stoats (which were used in fur industries). Is actually not a self breed but a chinchilla series. any rabbit will become this if carrying double Red eyes white. it works like a blanket, masking the other colours.

Blue eyed white (BEW), the double form of vienna. Single version is called Vienna.

Vienna sometimes shows up as random white patches. Not all have white patches, if your rabbit has one, two or partial blue eyes, it is still carrying a vienna gene.

Blue eyed white is not related to the chinchilla series Red eyed white.

Chinchilla series

The chinchilla series removes yellow pigment. Below is chinchilla series on Agouti.

The chinchilla or Chinrex when rex. was named after the rodent. It is Agouti and Chinchilla series.

Dilute is called Squirrel, aka. Blue chinchilla.

Chocolate and lilac chinchilla exist but are disqualified and rare.

Marten

The chinchilla series Otter rabbits

Marten, sometimes called Silver Martin or fox. Named after the animal used in fur industry. Comes in black, blue, chocolate and lilac.

Shaded

Sable agouti (right), mostly forgotten colour, comes in black, blue, chocolate and lilac.

Actually darker and bigger face marking then image. Image is juvenile.

Seal, comes in Marten seal, and a self version, called Siamese seal. Marten seal is double dose of shaded gene on a marten, Siamese seal is double Siamese sable..

Martin sable, the sable gene on an otter rabbit. Needs to carry Himalayan or red eyed white to not be seal. Comes in dark, light and medium shades. Has a chocolate variant.

Kits have no pattern, develops with age.

Martin smoke pearl, the dilute of Martin sable. Needs to carry Himalayan or red eyed white to not be seal. Comes in dark, light and medium shades.

Kits have no pattern, develops with age.

Siamese sable, the self version of sable marten. Needs to carry Himalayan or red eyed white to not be seal. Comes in dark, light and medium shades.

Kits have no pattern, develops with age.

Siamese smoke pearl, sometimes shortened to smoke pearl. The dilute of Siamese sable. Needs to carry Himalayan or red eyed white to not be seal. Comes in dark, light and medium shades.

Kits have no pattern, develops with age.

Himilayan-

Himilayan, a temperature based albinism. Named after the cat. Also called Californian and pointed white. Comes in black, blue, chocolate and lilac.I

A self breed. Agouti or otter is called martenized Himalayan and is disqualified.

Born white, pattern develops with age.

non extension-

Orange. used to be called yellow, old breeds like Dutch are still called Yellow. Called Fawn in Angora. Becomes red when paired with rufous gene. not a self rabbit but actually an Agouti based rabbit.

Fawn, dilute orange. Sometimes called Beige. Not a self rabbit but Agouti based.

harlequin, sometimes called Japanese harlequin or Japanese. It is a Agouti breed. Self versions are faded and called tort based harlequins. Tort based harlequins are disqualified.

Comes in Black-orange, blue-fawn, chocolate -Orange and lilac-fawn

magpie. Pairing of harlequin and Chinchilla series

Sooty fawn, sometimes called tort. Is named tortoiseshell in rex. a self shaded breed that is non extension. The dilute of sooty fawn is called Beige.

Sable point. Is a Tort mixed with chinchilla series.I

Broken-

Broken. Called Dalmatian in Rex. Shown above is Dalmation Bi. It is also called English, spotted and butterfly. Needs to be blanket version on most. Spotted version is allowed on rex. spotted required on English spot, rhinelander, giant papillion and dwarf papillon.

In its double form it's white with head markings and Herringbone on back. The double is called "Charlie " after the incomplete nose marking resembling Charlie Chaplin moustache.

Booted- broken is only shown as white feet on solid rabbit. Disqualified.

Tri colour. Called dalmatian tri in rex, tri in others. It's similar to Tri-colour Dutch (except that's harlequin and dutch, not harlequin and broken.) The English also comes in tri colour. It is not excepted in most breeds. One of my favourite colours!!!!!!

Lutino-

Lutino. A new mutation. While albinism removes melanin, if it removes yellow it makes albino, if it keeps yellow it's a lutino.

All Lutino have red eyes. On an agouti rabbit it is called Shadow Lutino (it has grey fur closer to skin), on Orange it is just Lutino and on self it is called Dove (Beige in America).

On the left is lutino and the right is Dove.

Unstandardized in most breeds, has been recently allowed in Netherland dwarf rabbits.

This is my favourite rabbit (and bird) colour mutation!!!!

Colours without images-

I hit my image limit on this post. :(

these are some other colours below.

Dutch - only allowed in Dutch rabbits. Used to be called belted. There was a "new style" that had four boots and thin blaze and collar. Thankfully the old style is what stayed. has a white "belt" that covers the front legs, a "blaze" and two white back feet called "stops". Some mini lops call it split.

Steel- sometimes called steel grey. In double form is nearly black and called super steel.

Frosty- a white rabbit with very faint points. Made by mixing sooty fawn and chinchilla series. Unstandarised in every breed.

Sallander- rare variety breed, "Base colour pearl with blackish brown guard hairs giving a veil of pale charcoal". Made from shaded and sooty fawn.

Thuringer- rare variety breed. "buff to deep yellow ochre with blue-black ticking"

Well I'm finished, it took all night and my hands cramped, but it's done!

You didn't ask but I was enslaved by some otherworldly autistic forces took the opportunity.

* updated, removed spelling mistakes basically*

Goretober Day 4!!!: Mutation :3

I had NO IDEA what to do for this for so long because I kept messing up when I tried to draw my mutated OC Owen. Unfortunately this one isn't actually gory but I literally had no other ideas so enjoy Karkat being a little fuckface to John, courtesy of my Karkat friend @mike-oxlong41 , who wrote the speech.

where do you even report a potential subspecies btw. i feel like that guy on reddit who was like "who do i contact if i have theories universities keep hanging up on me"

#there's a small population of crested pigeons around me who have extremely different colouration than normal #it's at the least a mutation that's breeding true across multiple generations and families #multiple mutations potentially a melanin thing? they all have a dark chest and no white tailtip #the issue is there's like twelve whole people in australia who care about (and argue about the genetics of) cresteds #and i'm one of them </3

my ben 10 Au ideas

the animaniac twins (dr Animo but twins)

Endo tech (small time company owned by Zell's older brother)

Ken ten Endo (older brother)

Zell Endo (used to be Zell Tenn but i changed it)

The Knight (owner of a medieval themed bowling ally <-all i have besides design)

The pipeline (my Plummers way smaller than the show like local to only earth)

Zell has no parents his brother is the closest parent figure he had

at some point Zell gets the classic Kevin monster like look (i mean he will look like an alien amalgamation)

also around this time he would meet Mr A [azmuth] (name based on the song goodbye Mr A)

the omnitrix was eternally stuck half way through the self shutdown when Zell found it as the device was damaged by... something.. but slowly it repaired itself after attaching to Zell

the omnitrix had a dark red rust like material on it when he finds it

also Zell in later years (ultimate alien) would transition to female

the omnitrix was found while Zell and Ken where looking around a junk yard for parts. Zell thought it might be an old cosplay/armour part but (like in the tv show) it suddenly latched itself around his lower left arm (it already looked like a gauntlet when he found it)

when someone askes about the gauntlet Zell says ether its a replacement limb or a cast

Zell makes figures and cards of all there rogues so they can freely talk about them and there powers and power level so they dont get caught by people as a hero

the omnitrix is eternally stuck half way through the self shutdown as the device was damaged by... something

some aliens:

GNR8 (generate electric based alien)

lady lift (female albino (blue) four arms (DNA doner is tiny) )

bootleg (i like Kevin's name also classic upgrade with the spike like construct that he added onto a few vehicles)

duplicate (ditto)

XLR8 (classic design)

wild mutt (classic design but with more fur)

the wolf (ben wolf but more wolf)

echo echo (uaf but with boombox like torso and able to play songs)

Diamondhead (slightly more yellow mixed with some blue)

phantasm (the ghost freak like alien (they are the ghost freak replacement after the z'scare breakout) )

FireStorm (heatblast)

Decompressed a bit today between chores and looking after the family! Kind of ooc but I couldn’t resist doing that aesthetic builder for my maybe one day OC if I ever get around to roleplaying on the regular again. Also please note, there is some body horror regarding teeth so please be aware of that before clicking ~

#💀 ;; OOC #💀 ;; aesthetics #body horror tw #body horror cw #Just an ordinary civilian getting swept up in horrific and unwilling genetic experimentations #She got away from that and ran away to Gotham to hide out #Took up a job in Pauli's Diner as a waitress/cook #Loves colourful stickers and 90's fashion/gimmicks #Reminds her of better days #So yeah #Was meant to end up with electrical/regenerative abilities from her mutation but instead turned out as a flesh horror abomination #Just wants a quiet life tbh
