>>Sure did get one, working on sequencing a few genes now. >>Problem is, how many difference in the DNA between a Ruffie >>and a Kenyan are enough to call them different species?

There is also the issue of whether any of the "rufescencs" in captivity today can be 100% genetically "pure". Most were crossed into Kenyan lines, AFAIK.

Are there pure locality rufescens in captivity?
