Aren't white tigers only produced by selective inbreeding?

Trainmonk posted:They can occur naturally... This is correct. The inbreeding is due to the fact that it is a recessive gene and zoos really wanted white tigers. This lead to a horrible breeding program that turned out several white tigers with downs syndrome.

Apparently it happens all the time in cat and dog breeding; I'm told many purebred animals have at least a little bit of inbreeding in their ancestry. I know it's supposedly this whole accepted part of animal breeding but it still bothers the hell out of me. That poor snaggletoothed tiger

Angry Diplomat posted:This is the most bizarrely adorable thing. The idea behind inbreeding is to "fix" or "Hold" a desired trait. It is rarely done today by ethical animal breeders, but was common in the days before genetics were well understood. Of course, idiots who don't give a drat about animals health don't care what they do. Unfortunately the people who try to breed their animals carefully are lumped in with the morons.

Now I could be wrong here, but I think I heard somewhere that these dudes are part of some controversial sect of some religion where the powder they use to cover themselves is actually made of human bones. Which would make the picture doubly bad rear end, but I'm not sure if it's true. I think the practice, if it ever actually existed if I'm remembering correctly, has had to adjust their rituals in recent years.

They smoke cannabis and hashish to honor Shiva. The white stuff is ash, and I think it's specifically from ritual fires.

The TGD thread I stole the picture from seemed to think he was an Aghori, another Hindu sect, who live on burial grounds, eat dead human bodies, paint themselves with ash made from cremated bodies, and also ritually smoke opiates. gently caress. Yeah.

Either way, that is one beautiful cat "Panther" is just a generic name for a big cat(Actually it normally only refers to either Jaguars, Leopards or sometimes Cougars). Big cats are of the genus Panthera (Jaguar is Panthera Onca, leopard is Pardus) so it probably stems from that. I was really into Big Cats when I was a little kid. However I never learned about melanistic coloring until that picture popped up. quote:Melanism is the result of a dominant allele and remains relatively rare in jaguars.

Holy crap! So if the ant isn't careful it can just push through the surface tension of the drop and it basically engulfs him?
