As many people know, changes in nature occur constantly. Thanks to continuous mutations, new breeds and even species appear animals, and those or other environmental conditions allow organisms acquire new properties.
Sometimes an animal has features that, at first look, completely useless to him, but look very funny. One of these creatures became a python, on a white scaly whose skin appeared a pattern resembling emoticons – schematic faces with eyes and mouths.
It is noteworthy that the unique snake did not become so far right away. Its owner – American breeder Justin Kobylka – it took eight years to breed this handsome man. The patterns on the back of the python actually resemble emoticons for communication. in messengers and social networks, and the appearance of such an unusual snake coloring is caused by a number of recessive mutations – extremely rare for wildlife.

You may remember from a school biology course that mutations divided into dominant (overwhelming) and recessive, which, on the contrary, are suppressed. For this reason, to breed an individual with recessive value of the trait needs to spend much more time and energy, since all the “strong” signs, contrary to nature, should be eliminated.
The breeder is already being approached with offers to buy from him outlandish reptile. Highest suggested value was already four and a half thousand dollars – and that’s only bidding start. However, Justin Filly reports that not intends to sell his python to anyone – not so much because uniqueness of the snake, how much because of love for your pet.
