Sunny and Honey

 

 

 

 

Fawn and Chocolate Tort English Angora look quite similar when they are full grown.   Genetically they differ only by being an agouti that carries "A-" and non-agouti that carries "aa".    When they are babies, however, they look quite different.  

In the photo taken under natural light, the left is a fawn bunny and the right a chocolate tort.  The fawn bunny's color is very sunny while the chocolate tort bunny is very much a honey color.   Both of these bunnies are chocolate based, so their color genotypes are:

Fawn                A-bbC-D-ee
Chocolate Tort  aabbC-D-ee

As we could see, the only difference is the agouti vs. self.

 

These are the same two bunnies, the one in the front is the fawn and the one in the back is the chocolate tort.  This photo is taken with a flash, the contrast of these two colors are not as intense as the first photo but still it's a sunny color vs. a honey color.
