A Blog designed for discussion of topics related to, but not limited to, Circus, Zoos, Animal Training, and Animal Welfare/Husbandry. Sometimes opening up the dialog is the best starting point of all. And if for nothing else when people who agree and don't agree, get together and start discussing it, it will open up a lot of peoples minds. Debate and discussion even amongst themselves opens a window where there wasn't one before.

Wade, I haven't read the study (glasses again LOL), but I understand that it was because of a genetic bottleneck that occurred about 10,000 years ago. Supposedly all cheetahs are descended from one female and a small group of males. Coincidentally, there was a study released a couple of months ago that said that all blue-eyed people are descended from a common ancestor 10,000 years ago. Before that, supposedly all people had brown eyes.

Mary Ann,
I suggest to a blue eyed Brit that she might be of Turkish decent, and she called me some terrible names, and threw a water bottle at me. As she has no religion, I assumed she would accept Darwins theory. But it was also met with the same response.

Cheetahs have a very high infant mortality rate today because they are so inbred. They are practically clones of each other, irrespective of gender, and you can do a skin graft between any two without rejection.
