Question For Gus about below post of head marking...

rick s. Jul 12, 2003 10:18 PM

Gus,

i was looking at the pic you posted below of the Tahumara(SP?) BCI and I was curious about something, do they always have that circleback pattern? I really like that look, and I was just curious if that is the norm, or an exception.

Thanks,
Rick

The circle-back look is pretty standard for that group as are the nice hard head markings. But the circles are actually somewhat hexagonal, not true circles.

The dots or spots inside the dorsal markings are mostly a baby characteristic, they usually fade away.

Thanks for your interest.
