The dominant version of the gene produces normal black pigment in the coat while the recessive version produces red pigment. The name comes from the effect of black or brown pigment not being extended throughout the whole coat, but being restricted to the skin of the extremities and to the eyes (for example in bay horses). This Norwegian Forest Cat was bred by Yve Hamilton Bruce from a silver mackerel tabby female (imported from Denmark) and a classic red tabby and white male. The result was 1 silver tabbies and 2 silver tabbies with white. At just over 3 months old, this silver and white tabby male developed a large patch of bright red hair on his back which continued to spread. Eventually the whole fur will become amber. The effect of amber during the colour-change stage depends on the original colour - solid black or blue, bicolour or tabby. The cat pictured is not a typical amber as it has the silver gene so the amber effect is overlaid on silver.
Reindeer is not endangered, thanks to its ability to tolerate climates people would rather not deal with. Snowshoe rabbit It is larger than other rabbits. It has large rear feet and the toes can spread out to act like snowshoes. Their feet also have fur on the bottom, which protects them from the cold and gives them traction in the snow. In the summer its fur is rusty, greyish brown but is turns pure white in the winter, except for its eyelids and the tips of their ears. They have three to four litters a year with one to eight in each litter. The snowshoe rabbit can run up to 27 mph and jump 10 feet in one hop. Since they are herbivores they are mainly prey. They are experts at escaping predators like the wolf, bobcat, or lynx. When a predator chases it, the rabbit will quickly change direction. They are also good swimmers and will jump in the water to make an escape.

peaople durin the Dreamtime. There was no written Aboriginal language. Most of the 600 tribes spoke different dialects and rarely met except on ceremonial occasions. The tradition of Dreamtime united the people. Rock paintings showing this creation period can be found all over the country. Some of the most spetacular and best preserved can be seen at rock galleries in Kakadu National Park and other parts of nortehrn Australia. The arrival of white people gradually brought an end to the traditional Aboriginal way of life. People began to build and settle on Aborigine tribal lands. Today, most Aborigines live in cities and towns or in isolated settlements near tribal lands. Few continue the old nomadic way of life. In recent years, white Australians have been more sensitive to the Aborigines' situation. The result has been an increase in health and educational services, greater recognition of

The Tasmanian tiger (often also known as the Tasmanian wolf) also lived on Tasmania a hundred years ago. It had stripes on its back like a tiger. It was more than 1.5 metres long. Scientists believe that hunters killed all of them at the beginning of the 20th century.
