Re: Donkey color genetics
Do we think they are different shades or is it earth staining?
eg. Very red "white" zebra here...

[quote="greasedweasel"]Probably a silly question but is there "grey" in donkeys?[/quote]
I honestly can't remember if there is grey in donkeys but I do know there is roan, which in donkeys can look similar to grey (and by grey I assume you mean the greying gene)
Wow I never knew zebras had a type of ivory like gene...thats amazing. I am thinking that there may be different types of this dilution gene in the zebras, some pictures they were white with the tan stripes and some were a light reddish color with darker stripes.
I counted 9 of the 'ivory' zebras in this picture...I'm guessing the gene is a double recessive and that [i]most[/i] zebras are homozygous for well, non ivory.

Re: Donkey color genetics
Do we have any members who have a good understanding of donkey genetics? We could add some pages for them.
