pelage

1 However, the agency said fewer than 400 cats with classical wildcat pelage were thought to survive.

2 It was much emaciated and the pelage was sparse and ragged, as if the animal had been sick for a long time.

3 His blond, fuzzy natal pelage has given way to the lush, chocolate brown coat of an adult.

4 A young male P. truei was also left in the cage with his mother until he had acquired most of his postjuvenal pelage; the female and male usually sat together in the cage.

5 Throughout the winter the color of the pelage changes, often becoming somewhat browner, although no actual molt takes place.

6 His coat has long since transformed from the fluffy golden natal pelage of a sea otter pup to the rich, deep, chocolate-brown fur of an adult.

7 They both have a tawny and brown pelage speckled with light and dark guard hairs.

8 O’Donoghue and his team will map the wildcat’s genome using century-old museum samples, allowing them to determine the genetic markers of a “pelage perfect” specimen.

9 Studies of the pelage phases and of the nature of color variations in mice of the genus Peromyscus.

10 The naturalists, however, say it is more like the beaver than any other North American beast, and it certainly has a remarkably beautiful pelage.

11 At birth, juveniles are pink, without pelage except for the mystacial vibrissae and a few hairs about the eye.

12 Apparently there is a molt line progressing posteriorly from nose; the molt line has moved to shoulder region by end of week; pelage anterior to line browner, grayer posterior to it.

13 Comparisons.—Smaller externally and cranially than S. v. longicauda and brown instead of blackish or grayish in winter pelage.

14 Researcher Hannah Walker from the University of Montana documented the distribution of these different pelage colours across their range in North America using museum specimens.

15 Adult pelage has been acquired, and the color is brighter than in either subadults or old adults.

16 Three age classes, juvenal, subadult and adult, were separated on the basis of condition of pelage.

17 The color of the body of the full-grown beast is the red of a red cow, but the pelage is wool rather than hair until the animal is well on in years.

18 Age was estimated to some extent by size of animal and nature of its pelage.

19 Because it was discovered that secondary sexual variation was negligible, both males and females, if of like age and pelage, were used in comparisons designed to reveal geographic variation.
