Makes you wonder if where they are actually bred is more of an influence than any genetic coding. Most of those bred would be of mixed locale in all likelihood so if I cross a southern and a northern while living in Sydney which trait would win?
It's a really interesting question and one I've asked myself. Regardless of where an Antaresia species originally hails from, if it's multiple generations captive bred, would it develop behaviour patterns to align with it's new locality? In other words, would an Alice Stimmy born and bred in Sydney brumate where the same sub-species kept in Cairns might not???
