The reason I asked is because all of the other leucistics have died. I was thinking that there might be some sort of lethal genetic mutation at work.



Is it possible that the jag parents you bred were both het. leucistic, and that this is not the "super" form of the jaguar? I would think this would make more sense. Normally a super form of an incompletely dominant trait looks like a more extreme version of the het. form. Perhaps the original male jag is het. leucistic as well, and therefore all jags are possible het. leucy.



Either way, good work. This is wonderful news. Thanks for sharing it with us.
