Or at that age, is it just an exercise in futility?Scissors MacGillicuttyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547171778193032655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7819688123764229065.post-81568158933538985472014-08-15T21:14:25.690+03:002014-08-15T21:14:25.690+03:00First one: spotted all over, except for the lower ...First one: spotted all over, except for the lower legs, which are black; also, short fur. That fits your description of the 4 to 7 month old cub.<br /><br />Second one: Fluffy! (and this is this is when I think spotteds are the cutest) So 8-9 months.<br /><br />Third one: black with a white eyebrow, and is whitish above the eyes, but there's a band of black running down from the top of its head to its nose. So 5-6 weeks? (this one I'm really not sure of: there's no den in site, so older than 3-4 weeks and its face isn't white, but it's got white rings about the eyes and whitish brows. But are those spots on the shoulders? And I wouldn't call its whole face white; also, at 3 to 3.5 months, unless a cub goes through a big growth spurt just then, it seems much smaller compared to the first cub. So: 5-6 weeks, with the acknowledgment that I could be off because of the spots on the shoulders, but to my untrained eyes, it doesn't seem to have a white face.)Scissors MacGillicuttyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547171778193032655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7819688123764229065.post-72136742590267199912014-08-02T07:24:21.268+03:002014-08-02T07:24:21.268+03:00A test ??
