That usually means it was looted from the ground but it might also mean it was actually done by a more recent artist who had seen cows.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01037215533094998996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8304928500646903522.post-9500663316662455132019-03-01T03:04:33.828-05:002019-03-01T03:04:33.828-05:00A curious observation, but it occured to me to won...A curious observation, but it occured to me to wonder if this sort of coat pattern is even possible on llamas.<br /><br />Briefly looking into the matter, it appears they can indeed have "patched" or "paint" style coats, but every example photo I've found shows a pattern either made up of much larger individual "patches", or of smaller "spots" that very densely clustered (as opposed to spread out uniformly with lots of empty space around each).<br /><br />Obviously only a very superficial glimpse, but it does make me curious - is this pattern artistic license, or is it accurate to the actual coat pattern of a historical llama variety / genetic variant that may or may not still exist?G.
