BUNG - Nation (by abbottoirez)
I’m glad the world never ventures here
I’m glad you find my manners queer
I’m glad that your country only comes on TV
Once every four years and twice a month in UIC

They compared genes of the white coyotes to those of 59 ordinary coyotes to see if they could find any differences. And they did. They found that white coyotes carried two copies of the same variant of Mc1r. Some dark coyotes had the same variant, but only carried one copy; their other copy was a normal version. In other words, it appears that the white Mc1r gene is recessive. It takes two copies to turn a coyote white. What makes that discovery particularly intriguing is that other scientists have seen the same mutation in Mc1r before: in golden retrievers. In the dogs, it appears to blunt the dark-pigment signals, causing them to grow light hairs. These two findings may be no coincidence. During the coyote breeding season on Newfoundland in March 2001, a male Golden Retriever ran off with a coyote and was never seen again. It’s possible that the dog and the coyote interbred, and some of their coyote-dog hybrid pups inherited the Mc1r mutation. The coyotes that carried a single copy of the Golden Retriever gene would have looked ordinary. But from time to time, two coyotes with the gene would mate. And when a coyote pup inherited two copies of the mutant Mc1r gene, its coat became lighter. But in a coyote, these genes didn’t turn fur gold. They transformed the coyotes into snow.

On Feb 4, 1967, ripped from her moorings, blown aground into shallow waters by a violent Nor’ Easter, the SS Kyle remains upon a mussel bed at Riverhead, Harbour Grace, Newfoundland. Harbour Grace is a 3-hour drive north of Cape Race, where the first CQD (SOS) code was heard from the HMS Titanic. The SS Kyle is visible from the air, parallel with the Harbour Grace Air Strip where Amelia Earhart on May 20th1932 took off “to cross the pond.” (via ss_kyle_org » Page 1 of 3)
