Selkirk Rex

Image
The Selkirk Rex is distinct from all other Rex breeds. Unlike the Devon Rex and Cornish Rex, the hair is of normal length and not partly missing. There are longhair and shorthair varieties. It differs from the LaPerm in that the Selkirk Rex coat is plusher and thicker. While the LaPerm gene is a simple dominant, the Selkirk gene (Se) acts as an incomplete dominant; incompletely dominant, allele pairs produce three possible genotypes and phenotypes: heterozygous cats (Sese) may have a fuller coat that is preferred in the show ring, while homozygous cats (SeSe) may have a tighter curl and less coat volume. The Selkirk Rex originated in Montana, USA in 1987, with a litter born to a rescued cat. The only unusually coated kitten in the litter was ultimately placed with breeder, Jeri Newman, who named her Miss DiPesto (after a curly-haired character in the TV series Moonlighting played by Allyce Beasley). This foundation cat was bred to a black Persian male, producing three Selkirk Rex and t

In fact, of all the primates who aren’t human, they live in the coldest and northernmost climate in the world. So that big fluffy coat of fur that you see does comes in handy and it’s not just for show. They occupy three of the four main islands in Japan and can be found in warm forests as well.  One of the really cool things about Snow Monkeys is how smart they are, and how quickly they can adapt to new environments. For example, in 1972, a group of 150 Snow Monkeys were moved from Kyoto to a nature observatory in Texas. You don’t have to be a geologist to know how significantly different those places are. After some growing pains for the unfortunately saw a few of the monkeys die, the rest of the m

🐷 Long haired guinea pigs

Image
The guinea pig or home guinea pig (Cavia porcellus), also known as cavy or domestic cavy, is a species of rodent belonging to the family Caviidae and the genus Cavia. Despite their common call, guinea pigs are not native to Guinea, nor are they biologically associated with pigs, and the foundation of the call is still doubtful. They originated in the Andes of South America, and research based totally on biochemistry and hybridization endorse they're domesticated descendants of a intently associated species of cavy inclusive of C. Tschudii, and therefore do no longer exist obviously within the wild. They had been firstly domesticated as farm animals, as a supply of meals, and stay.
