Isnt nature and evolution amazing. I do not know his/her chance at finding a mate and procreating and passing on the polka dot fences. I don't remember if in the article said whether or not they are born sterile. I doubt it, as is a melanin condition.

Artistic dots on Tira ... I do hope he survives to adulthood, and can use biting fly repellant, maybe a monthly medication like I put on my cats.
