Have you guys seen the calico and lemon "cow suckers" on Will Bird's site?

DeanAlessandrini Mar 18, 2005 04:01 PM

What's amazing about these is that they are actually locality specific morphs, from my understanding. I think the "original" calico is actually a wild collected animal from KY. It is STUNNING! Like no man-made morph I've ever seen.

Check out his gallery of cow suckers here:

Great new website too...

btw...they are black rats. Many rural KY folks refer to black rats as "cow-suckers" - a spin of the milk snake legend I suppose.

Dean, that is an extraordinary animal, especially with locality info. Will also has other cow suckers, such as the lemon morph. Do you know if he has started to sell any babies, yet?
