Oops I didnt read the question well about already knowing about the Facebook class pics. Sorry! My brain is too focused on my microbiology exam tomorrow.
I finally was able to get a safari to send for blind trade and a fantasy gamble for myself 😊 (hoping for the flower tiger or feather tiger)
Thank you so much for the kind offer and blind trade opportunity! I get a tan tiger young I’ve been looking for thanks to a sweetheart 💞
I need my username too! Thx!
Hello!
Here’s how to get to it in the top right corner. After you click edit, scroll to the bottom of the page where it says “name” is your username and you can change it 😊
I used whom correctly, I think I put one comma in the wrong place? I received a 31 on my ACT for the grammar section and a 29 on the essay section. Please sit down.
Also, point to me which and where these supposed experts are claiming red wolves aren’t a sub-species of gray wolves? They’re direct descendents I have my bachelor’s of science in Biology with a specialization in Genetics, Lab Research. Don’t lecture me on Taxonomy when you’re probably going to have to look up what the word means.
Hopefully you learned something from what I said instead of just reading the criticism I displayed.
Welcome to the amazing and kind world of Windstone.
I’m currently going to college for my BS in Biology. I’m not an english major or minor. I was taught that taxonomy and phylogeny trees can only infer evolutionary history. They are hypotheses. So I just hopped online to my college library, searched for red wolf taxonomy,and alot of credible and scholarly articles appeared. Here’s one:
DNA profiles of the eastern Canadian wolf and the red wolf provide evidence for a common evolutionary history independent of the gray wolf

Abstract
The origin and taxonomy of the red wolf (Canis rufus) have been the subject of considerable debate and it has been suggested that this taxon was recently formed as a result of hybridization between the coyote and gray wolf. Like the red wolf, the eastern Canadian wolf has been characterized as a small “deer-eating” wolf that hybridizes with coyotes (Canis latrans). While studying the population of eastern Canadian wolves in Algonquin Provincial Park we recognized similarities to the red wolf, based on DNA profiles at 8 microsatellite loci. We examined whether this relationship was due to similar levels of introgressed coyote genetic material by comparing the microsatellite alleles with those of other North American populations of wolves and coyotes. These analyses indicated that it was not coyote genetic material which led to the close genetic affinity between red wolves and eastern Canadian wolves. We then examined the control region of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and confirmed the presence of coyote sequences in both. However, we also found sequences in both that diverged by 150 000 – 300 000 years from sequences found in coyotes. None of the red wolves or eastern Canadian wolf samples from the 1960s contained gray wolf (Canis lupus) mtDNA sequences. The data are not consistent with the hypothesis that the eastern Canadian wolf is a subspecies of gray wolf as it is presently designated. We suggest that both the red wolf and the eastern Canadian wolf evolved in North America sharing a common lineage with the coyote until 150 000 – 300 000 years ago. We propose that it retain its original species designation, Canis lycaon.I also have been bit by a friend’s pit bull. Then a different friend recently had their pit bull bite their child’s face when the child grabbed him suddenly.
We are a very friendly forum. We appreciate knowledge and diversity. Hope you have a better day.
Cheers
Congratulations! Couldn’t have gone to a nicer person 😉
So true!!!
I would like some stray cat edition flip flap cats. I have several flap cats but missed all the flips.
Ooh great idea! I’d hope to get a grey flip flap.
Traded for my 1st Flapcat and they are super cute! Milo is like who dis?
And Billy the Kitten is chirping at birds 😊
Nope – based on these photos this batch is not for me. I might pick up one of the less exuberant ones on the aftermarket, or I might just skip it. More for the rest of you!
I will try not to buy one and wait for aftermarket also. I say try because the grab bag gamble almost always pulls me in lol. I really just would like a tan, bronze, etc tiger safari or fantasy. I have a rainbow tiger already, Dazzle, so just would like a more natural one.
