how did you get whites from that pairing?? i don’t understand genetics plz help

mad-hare:

lol that’s okay! The whites are albinos, so they have two copies of an otherwise recessive gene. I was surprised too because we got none the first litter and neither of the parents have a white ancestor minus one great grandparent.

So since both parents carried a copy of the gene (50% chance to inherit) which needs two copies it gives a kit a 25% chance of being born albino..

Here we see the convergence of genetics and statistics! You can predict how things will go, but sometimes statistics goes “ha, nah, have a batch of 4 kits where 3 display a trait that’s a ¼ chance”.

whatthefauna:

I can only assume that what photographer Porsupah Ree captured here are binkying bunnies. A binky is a playful and happy expression made by a rabbit in which it jumps in the air and twists its body around in a convulsive fashion.

I think these guys might be the ones that inspired the saying “mad as a March hare”. There’s a type of hare that, in March, competes for mates in wildly rapid boxing matches that involve leaping into the air like this, making them look slightly insane.
