They still are & always will be, just clever advertising now!!

cant see what all the fuss is about really, weve crossbred dogs, cats, fish, birds......usually for aesthetic reasons.......only a matter of time before reptiles followed.

morliaman, you have to remember that to a lot of people here, any other animal is just food, we're reptile enthusiasts.

All I want to know is, were wild daschunds (aka sausage dogs) an ambush predator and did they hunt in packs?

 

[peterescue]

simple answer Moosey is no, they are pursuit predators and they come in packs. Huttons used to have a range that came in packs with your footy team colours.
BTW Dachs are badgers. Thus they are badger hounds.
I have a friend we call The Badger.

I heard that they evolved short legs to run with similar carnivores and their former niche was taken over by trap-door spiders.

I also saw a splotched python once near Nimbin, NSW. It was on the road - lots of pink, red and white and covered with ants. I had not been smoking at the time.

I'm not paying $8,500 for that.

Axanthic lacks yellow. Anerythristic lacks red.

Amelanistic = without melanin
Albino = a white animal

The herp world is the only group of people where an albino is anything but a white animal. The word albino is portuguese, dertived from the Latin word alba (meaning 'white') and the portuguese suffix ino (meaning 'the appearance of'). It refers to a complete lack of surface pigmentation. As a result, albinos have either red/pink or blue eyes.

In humans, the only pigmentation in the skin is melanin, so an amelanistic human results in an albino.

There are some purists who go further to say that an albino must have red/pink eyes (a blue eyed animal used to be called a 'sport') and can be produced by only one mutation. A combination of mutations to produce a white animal with red eyes is not a true albino.

Hence this all-white Cockatiel with red eyes, is not an albino, but actually a Lutino Whiteface.
