Talk:Primitive markings

adding gallery of "Primitive markings" in the Domestic Horse In case they can be used, or someone wants to use them. The mother is buckskin without these marks and the father was a bay. I don't really know if this is counter shading, or Dun, or buckskin, I am not a genetics specialist.

Rather than a gallery here (which IS a good way to temporarily "Park" images for the article, but not as permanent storage) We might want to create a primitive markings gallery over at wikimedia commons, with a link to it from the article page. Look at the end of this article for an example of what I mean: Haflinger (horse). Montanabw^(talk) 21:23, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Humm, can't see where that was done in the Haflinger (horse). maybe point me, or is you know how to make that on commons? Arsdelicata (talk) 23:22, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What I am talking about is a two step process: first, going over to Wikimedia commons and seeing if there has been a category created for all the photos of horses and other equidae with primitive markings (there wasn't one, I'm making it happen now), then you just have to link it, if there isn't one, it is not too tough to make one -- but anyway, once you have it, you just insert the tag {{commonscat|name of category}}, which should look like this:

Primitive markings on the kri-kri (Capra aegagrus cretica)

I could not help but sharing the mere fact that, primitive markings are also visible/obvious on the Cretan goat, sometimes called the Cretan goat, Agrimi, or Cretan Ibex aka kri-kri: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kri-kri

It's interesting, but I don't think those are the same thing. Primitive markings are associated with dun and found in equines like horses. I don't know too much about goat coloration, but if I had to guess, I'd say the markings on those goats probably have something to do with agouti. Iamnotabunny (talk) 07:01, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
