This part is about the biology and genetics of the pack. Here you can see how the members are related and learn about the inheritance of their fur color. 1. The Family tree Parents/Founder: 5 wolves (Desoto, Callon, Tharsirion, Rosco, Avias) Born in the pack: 4 wolves (Tani, Taibu, Kalimba, Denver), 9 cubs Joined the pack: 2 wolves (Sombra, Satharo) 2. Inheritance of the fur colorFor the WeuUkoo Wolves ("Canis Lupus Canus"), two genes are responsible for the color: Grey (G/g) or Brown (B/b) will define the color, XX (dark), xx (bright) or xX (medium) will define the nuance (dominant X or recessive x gene).Example: Solar is the only pup that comes a lot after his father's beige fur (Sirandir, the European Cave Wolf "Canis Lupus Spelaea"). He is the only WeuUkoo member with brown fur. Merrow also has a light touch of that beige, but it's still more greyish. So Tani's and Sirandir's cubs do not only have mixed brown and grey genes, but are also a mix of two different species - "Canis Lupus Spelaea" and "Canis Lupus Canus". The letter standing at the first position has more influence (GB is usually more grey than BG): G = Dark grey g = Light grey B = Dark brown b = Light brown Some mix examples: (the grey gene is usually more dominant than the brown one) GB = dark brownish Grey (can also be more grey) Gb = dark Grey with a touch of brown gg = light Grey Bg = medium Brown with a touch of grey Bb = medium Brown GG = dark Grey Here are the genetics of the WeuUkoo Wolves:  Explanation of the single members:
