Zebra het Albino
This animal is a visual Zebra carrying the Albino allele in heterozygous form. Visually, it displays the characteristic Zebra pattern – irregular transverse banding. The Albino het status is not visible and is determined through documented parentage.
Zebra is intermediately inherited from Jungle (M. s. cheynei). Albino is recessive from Darwin (M. s. variegata). The combination of both lineages makes this a documented subspecies cross.
The hidden Albino allele provides breeding value for producing Albino Zebras – a designer morph combination where Albino removes all dark pigment from the Zebra banding, creating bold banding in vivid yellow-white warm tones. Paired with another het Albino, statistically 25% of offspring will be visual Albinos (with or without Zebra expression depending on zygosity).
