minus-squareCptEnder@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agoDamn that’s some pretty good camo though. What is the science behind different breeds’ coat colors? Is there any evolutionary advantage like this?
minus-squareThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agoGenerally no. Most visual differences are caused by selective breeding. If you look at most wild cats (actually wild not just feral) they’re usually the typical grey tiger stripe. There’s a reason cats with that coat are referred to as SIC (Standard Issue Cat)
