Leucistic American Badger at Point Reyes!

Recently, a unique sight was spotted here in Point Reyes National Seashore - a leucistic American Badger! You may think that it is an albino, but if you look closely, you’ll notice that its eyes are actually brown or black, not pink. Its nose also has some pigment to it. Leucism is a genetic mutation where there is only a partial loss of pigmentation, while albinism is when there is a total absence of pigmentation. Albino creatures will look white (or sometimes pale yellowish) in color, with very pale pink or red eyes. Leucistic creatures can look white in patches or almost completely white, but their eyes will always have color to them. Just like this badger whose normally brown stripes are showing up more as a dark cream color! Photo by David Kramer as he hastily pulled out his cell phone to get this photo while on a hike in the Seashore.

Someone wanted me to post this drawing here on tumblr so here! It’s a drawing of my fursona. They aren’t any specific species but they are a mustelid-like creature similar to a ferret, ermine, or sable (also clarification the “do not repost” means not to reupload my art, and is not referring to Tumblr’s reblog feature)

Ava, barbarian, mother, crone.

I finished watching episode 8 of burrows end today. It was a lot. Ava’s strength and tenacity are admirable, but I never want to be that cold, especially to my family.

Say your ‘I’m sorry’s and ‘I love you’s, they are so important, to you an others.
