I am from the Alterna community and I am very concerned with locality specific animals. We hold locality to a very high standard. If you can not 100% prove an animal is from a specific locality then it is generic. No buts about it. I have been listening to locality arguments about BCC over here for years now as I have been interested in and keep a nice collection of "Surinames" and "Guyanans" . I have found that there are no animals that are "locality specific". There are traits that people like to call "suriname' and others that people expect in "Guyanas'" but you will find after you see enough animals that they vary and are at the end of the day impossible to distinguish from one another. People use these lables for BCC for marketing purposes and that is all they are. " Northern Shield" or " Guyana Shield" is as true as you will get with regard to locality in these animals.
