This morning, it is 5 to 6 years old from when I first saw it. Not sure how it survives without camo. Sticks out like a sore thumb. Very cool though.

Is he trap shy?

It is like a ghost, appears and then vanishes again for long periods. Not interested in killing it. Hoped there might be some offspring.

My brother had one around his house that looked similar but he was more peachy in color!
Thanks for sharing the pictures, very cute

Very cool!!

Google is wrong on a lot of stuff.

The woman has one like this at her house. Same dark face and a normal tail. She says that I can shoot it if I'm going to get it mounted. Otherwise, I should leave it alone. I think she really likes it so I'm going to leave him alone. It'd make a really nice mount, though.

Funny I was about to mention that it's not piebald. The patches of dark and light would be more random if it was, although there is such a thing as "high white" piebald. But with how much dark it has, and being it's not random patches, it's something else. I wouldn't know for sure what sort of gene it has but yeah it's not piebald. Pretty cool though whatever it is. Maybe something called leucistic. As far as I know both albino and piebald are recessive genes, meaning both parents need to carry the gene to produce offspring with it, or at least produce any that visibly have it. Leucistic I believe all or most of the time is co-dominant, so it works a little differently.

I can try to put it in words that make sense. Take chickens for example. Say there's a breed of chicken that has a black color. But one day there's one that gets a color mutation which is a dilution of black, it's blue. And the blue is co-dominant. It breeds with a black one, 50% will be black and 50% will be blue. But then later a blue one breeds with a blue one, 25% will be black 50% will be blue and 25% will be splash (in some cases called silver). The splash is basically a double (sometimes called super) dilution of the color black, because both parents had the gene. Splash bred with splash produce 50% splash, 25% blue, and 25% black, if I'm remembering that correctly.

Recessive genes are tougher, like I said both parents need to have it for it to show in any offspring. If both don't have it, each generation of offspring that follow, the odds of any of them carrying it are reduced every time. I need to refresh my memory on how the numbers work with this one cause it's been a while.

That's probably more info on genetics then expected to get in this thread, lol. But point is it would be interesting to know if what it has is co-dominant or recessive. Even knowing a bunch about genetics, still can't be 100% positive on things but it can give you a really good guess as to what it is. Chances are if it produces some offspring that look like it, it's probably co-dominant. If not, then it's probably recessive and you'd have to wait a few generations give or take to see any more pop up.
