Hi Gregg, I think he was concerned with size as adults.

ALso, pattern is different with animals from extreme localities, such as northern westerns vs. Kennerlyi. But not different at all with southern type westerns, which occur and blend with kennerlyi.

As far as the trade goes, what you say is true for now. ALso, they are built differently as well. True kennerlyi are a bit flattened and true westerns(northern types) are more cylindrical.

All in all, I think the paper that separated them was very weak. It ended up calling them semi-species. As only one scale type separated them and that was only 85% accurate with that one scale(azygous)

With our hogs, there is a real difference in the nasal scale structure between the two. But they only used scales where numbers were the variable. Not structure.
