There is a lot of potential overlap there Nate. I don't think you can make any real conclusions without knowing what the counts were on the original two founding animals. If they were both on the high side of average it’s possible that the captive population's counts are a simple reflection of a shift that occurred as it passed through a genetic bottle neck. Two animals are a very small founding population to expect a normal spread of phenotypic expression. ----- “Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.” Emmerson
