More Space Rabbit Morphs!!

I hope this is a better example for your question @drawingsphopho !

Albinism usually expresses itself as hairlessness(which includes whiskers and much of the ears) and underdeveloped and/or weak eyes. This rabbit, however, retained a medium length shag coat from a parent! This is pretty rare, but considering the random toss up of genes rabbits pass down, it's not unheard of to see genes "cancel eachother out".

TRUE Melanism is pretty rare. Instead, most dark rabbits are a sleek dark brown. Because of this, not many individuals express patterns or differing exoskeleton colors. Seems to be the darker the color the more suppressed the patterns!

Mosaic genes (like chimerism), piebaldism, and vitiligo are surprisingly common among space rabbits! This is most likely due to their high birth rate and common reproductive issues. They can even develop similar looking discoloration and age spots as they shed old, strained, or damaged carapaces. These are common in athletes and other such hard physical work. Kind of like metal as hell permanent bruises! The individual pictured has splotches similar to blaschko lines in humans that trace the shapes of the exoskeleton.

#art #digital art #space rabbits #speculative biology #spec bio #skin condition #fun fact: tuffy is not a true albino! #her setae is actually just a semitransparent off white color #close to a cream sort of color #her carapace is a light pink and her eyes are fully formed and functioning #shes really just the equivalent of platinum blonde lol #aliens #almost forgot that tag
