What am I?

Post by bonnies_gouldians » Fri Dec 19, 2008 7:15 pm

I have two Zebras, wasn't sure what kind they were, anyone know? I know one is a girl (I'm getting eggs from somewhere :) ), I think its the lighter one. The dark one I call "Uno" as he only has one eye :(

i;m gonna guess and say the female is a fawn, she looks almost pied. She's very pretty!

BTW, the males have the orange cheeks. I don't think it applies to some colors those. but it the normals which your male is.

I am very fond of the female as well, I love her color. Good to know the male is normal, I figure he was but so many "morphs" come in all the time and I never can tell what is normal anymore!

In all honesty if I would have seen that post before I left Georgia I would have given you a call. I went into south carolina one of the nights I was there and would have loved to pick him up and provide him a nice home with my pair.
