Yeah, they look just like that. Some don't come out as dark and others are just as dark.

Nice clutch, Shannon.

Yep, they are so close looking.I will snap a pic of a greaser and yuma side by side.They have much more of a sock head like a splendida though.

Please do, that sounds cool. Do you have any shots of the parents too?

If the grease king looks like the yuma. And the grease is a remnant isolated pop. Then maybe the cali kings decided to selectivly breed for more color over the last 80-100 years? hmmmmm?

I mean seriosly..how long has that field been isolated and surrounded by concrete? When was the long beach harbor built?/Maybe FR remebers ? HA HA GHA HA!

I remember when I was a kid in the 60's we found dark lloing kings like that in west L.A. Not AS dark. But still dark with not much color. We figured that is what you get for city kings.Fugly! LOL!

I am not saying that all cal kings in that area looked like Yuma sock heads. But how in the heck did they get to be looking like that? Did someone drop off some intergrade species or yuma kings?

The resmblence is to ironic and to different from anything else.

This is where pickled specimens dated from that area would come in handy.

This is where brian Hubbs might come in handy. Ummm. no. On second thought, scrap that. LOL!
