I have no idea what the fuck is going on in chat right now 😃👍

Yes

"Occasional congenital deafness is associated with white or white-patterned, blue-eyed animals. This includes dogs and cats. It is important to note that most splashed white horses are not deaf. Hearing loss is due to the death of the necessary hair cells in the ear. This is caused by the absence of melanocytes in the inner ear. Although the majority of splash horses have pigment around the outside of the ear, the pigment must occur in the inner ear to prevent hearing loss."

The lack of pigment in the ears kills the cells responsible for hearing. This is a known thing in multiple species with white patterns

The location of splash white has nothing to do with hearing. It's the embryonic stage of development. Splash White is an inherited mutation that affects normal pigment cell function and can also affect hearing. -Click-

Hopefully if I grind a few quests I'll be able to knock off a few hundred ebs I'd have to spend on a sexed med

And when everyone has them for sale, the prices jack up

I know WWWs are rare but they seem *really* rare right now...

there's not a single WWW not gelding in auction besides Adams auction right now

09:16:48 Wan | Wolf | Silver

Unrelated but wow, there's not a single WWW-W stallion in the game currently

certain patterns, i.e splash, are more likely to cause deafness because the pattern is more likely to completely involve the ear and affect hearing

...no?

The pigmentation in the skin is used by the fetus as a map of where to put the organs & nerves
Thats why certain white patterns cause partial or minor things like blindness or deafness where as things that are completely white don't have any map
Lethal white foals when born often don't live because their organs are either wrong and or incomplete

ItÂ’s interesting how many species have Â“badÂ” white based genes

It really is fascinating. Recently I've been wanting to do more research into how the lethal white gene works and how lavender works (forgot the actual name of that gene)

I started studying color one day when I was laid up sick for a few weeks
That was 7 yrs ago
I find the subject fascinating
The most color genetic study has gone into rabbits & horses
There are parallels between all mammals
