Abronia graminea "black-eye"

Different forms and colour variations are known from the so called "black-eyed" morph of A. graminea. There are also morphological differences between the blue and black-eyed forms. It is speculated that the black-eyed individuals could actually be their own species. The name "black-eye" is confusing, because individuals of these forms may also have blue eyes.

One couple was observed mating in October 2013 and in June 2014, the same female gave birth to 16 babies. At about 5 months the juvenils started to show their first colour with great variation, none of them looked the same. The pattern of calico variants could be seen at almost one year.
