The Staten Island Zoo lineage if I am not misstaken merged with the Tulsa Zoo stock in the mid-80's. These animals were some of the early PNG lines. Because 'true' documentation at that time was not as precise as it is now, many of the early animals were bred across various locality types, so true locality specific documentation was unfortunately lost. The good part however, is that these lines now contained a wide diverse genetic makeup. Given this, the various phenotypes that now come from such lineages are very impressive and encompass virtually all color morphs.
