#melanistic animals

I want to write a song about the melanistic serval.

Her mind is autistic

Her rhymes are futuristic

Nature's so realistic

'Cause her serval's melanistic

Her eyes are so fine

Her body's so curval

Her legs are long and Black

Like her melanistic serval.

That's just the first draft idk.

If you ever wondered what the best living vertebrate is, it’s the alligator gar in my totally not biased 100% scientifically backed opinion. They are just a flawless creature. Nothing wrong with them. Good tooth to snoot ratio, they have a winning smile.

They and other monster fish absolutely should NOT be in the hands of most private keepers at all and I do NOT support morph breeding of them because of that, but pretty fishy cute :c

Behold a black cat of a different kind: this melanistic serval (Leptailurus serval). Also known as the “giraffe cat,” servals have the longest legs in proportion to their body size of any feline. Found in parts of Africa, this predator can jump more than 9 ft (2.7 m) into the air to snatch birds in flight. Individuals like the one pictured, which are rare in the wild, are affected by a genetic mutation called melanism, which results in their dark coloring. Scientists think there are some advantages that come with having a dusky coat, including being able to more seamlessly blend in with the darkness of the night and take in heat more efficiently in the Sun.

I just found you!! I think you take moodboard requests? if so, I request a melanistic fox (look for a fox with black instead of white) moodboard! With forests, maybe? Thanks!

Of course! I hadn't heard of these foxes until now, they're beautiful!

Qhuinn got a sun chip for the first time, and he loved it! You can see him stop eating it to lick the whole side of it lol Garden salsa flavour ftw~

He doesn't get chips often. Only a once or twice a month thing since they're not good for him to have often. He eats mostly what he finds out in the wild, though, and we also give him avocado(aka squirrel crack) and nuts for him and his brother to stash. Squirrels love hazelnuts the most! They also get a treat of crunchy peanut butter when we don't have nuts for them.

They're both a year old now. Hard to believe this time last year we were feeding them formula and wiping their bums to go potty~

They grow so fast~ 😭❤️

An incredibly rare black fallow deer, also known as melanistic or melanic deer, has been spotted in the forests of Poland.

Black deer

- a resultant of melanism, a recessive inherited genetic trait, that causes an excess of dark pigment on the skin.
