It's true that lacerdae's sometimes have the dark band, but it's nt as prominent as it is in other wolf species. Here are a few pics of my old lac when it was smaller. This is what I was talking about as far as their pattern goes. It's random blotches, not a herring bone pattern like malas. And slanted's photos don't show the lac pattern very well, because wolves get darker as they get more mature and the pattern becomes not as noticeable.local hero;1979545; said:I'll try and get some new photos, it has that striped pattern with or with out the combination of the diagonal bars to form that herring bone pattern only during the day. In the evening (with the lights on) it looks exactly like the lacerdae SLANTED is trying to sell right now. The dentaries are parallel and non-convergent.........
