[quote="Simba"]well, you can do a Punett square to determine, but hair color works different. because aside from dominant and recessive, there's also co-dominant. and you can take someone with blonde hair and someone with black hair and end up with a kids with black and shades of brown. it's complicated
of course it might not be as complicated with real lions, concerning manes and tail tuft colors at least. the exact shade of the overall coat is that way though, with varying shades of golds, bronzes, rusts, tawnies, manillas, browns, etc.[/quote]
That's true. And of course there can be some nice mutations. Some male lions don't even have a mane.
But I've heard some people say that males never inherit the mane genes from their mothers. Then... how could Mufasa and Scar have the same father?
