Unique colourmorph animal breeding

[Iron Medal]

I've always wondered what happens when two different "colourmorph" variations of a single animal breed together—for instance:

• African Leopard (Melanistic + Strawberry)
• Alpaca (Black + Cream)
• Alpine Goat (Noir/Blanc + Broken Chamoise)
• American Standard Donkey (Blonde/White + Spotted)
• Asian Water Monitor (Albino + Melanistic)
• Axolotl (Albino + Freckled)
• Bactrian/Dromedary Camel (Dark Brown + Piebald)
• Bengal/Siberian Tiger (Golden Tabby + Pseudo-Melanistic)
• Blue Wildebeest (Albino + Golden)
• Cheetah (Spotless + King)
• European Badger (Albino + Erythristic)
• European Fallow Deer (Leucistic/Melanistic + Menil)
• Highland Cattle (Black + Blonde/Cream)
• King Penguin (Brown Mutation + Xanthic)
• Lar Gibbon (Brown + Gray)
• Little Penguin (Leucistic + Piebald)
• Nyala (Piebald + White)
• Pronghorn Antelope (Albino + Piebald)
• Raccoon (Leucistic + Melanistic)
• Red Fox (Leucistic + [Partially] Melanistic)
• Springbok (White + King)
• Striped Skunk (Albino + Erythristic)
• Sussex Chicken (Coronation + Speckled)
• Wolverine (Albino + Leucistic)

Depends on the code... Unfortunately I think the only ones that stack are piebald and others...

In real life a few of them will mix to create a unique morph, not the case in PZ though. Like a strawberry + melanistic leopard will be "charcoal" (darker from the melanism, reddish-brown from the strawberry). We should have a "snow white" tiger that results from the mix of stripeless (golden tabby) + white genes. I think zoos stopped breeding rare color tigers together for clout before we found out what golden tabby x pseudomelanistic looks like (golden probably wins out), but tigers can be white (instead of orange) and pseudomelanistic at the same time.

Again, these mixes require additional coats that are not currently in the game, I think Frontier just chose one that wins out at the moment

Some of these mixes though, one should win out over the other both in PZ and real life. Like albinism generally covers up ("masks") leucism or melanism, since albinism generally excludes melanin entirely.

Piebald doesn't always stack in game too, in alpacas I think the piebald gray always has to be piebald gray

I don't know about others, but regarding Gibbons, what I discovered while breeding was:

White x Black: White (black gene)
Black x Brown: Black
Brown x Red: Brown

Red is the most recessive in game.
