This question and the one below, is asked, just about on a weekly basis.

Personally, I could careless what they are officially known as. Officially, the scientific names seem to change faster then the common names. Yet, the animals do not change. I get the feeling they train taxonomist on a yearly basis and they "need" something to classify or reclassify.

The truth is, there are many many regional types of "albigs" and thats what is of interest to me. Whether they want to call them morphs, races, regional types, or subspecies, is all fine with me. But they really should recognize them as something. Thanks and I hope you find what your looking for. FR
