Patchwork Hairless Mice
*Click on pictures to enlarge.*
So here's something you've probably never seen. This is a Patchwork Hairless Mouse. The hair on this type of mouse will fall off and it never grows back. I got permission from the owner to show the pictures from their FB Page.
The hair falls out and then regrows back again. These are the pictures they took of the progression of the hair falling out and what it looks like.
How cool is that?

Adam- Glad you thought so.
Oh how weird! I wonder what the biological reasoning for that happening is. He's pretty cute!
ReplyDeleteNeat. I can relate to the falling out part, but sure could use them to send the secrets on the regeneration.
