L128 - The difference in their spots?

Post by polkadot »

I notice that the spots on L128 and L200 can be classified into 2 main forms. One that has spots all the way right up to the tail, with smaller and more spots on the head region. The other has spots only around the head region, and no spots on the rest of the body up till the tail. Which one you guys would actually prefer? Here, I see the one with more spots being harder to find!

Here's one with lots of spots.

Hi!

Could be something about the catching place, geographic colouration!
But I would say that these spot are like the fingerprints and our body traits, to make each individual different form each other!
