If You've scene the pictures of his mount now, or saw him at, The cleveland museum on natural history. You seen him as a orange/brown color.Truly, that's not his true color. Balto, was black and white, with brown eyes. After he died in, 1933, He was put under bright light, damaging his jeck black fur, into the brown/orange color, he is now.


such scene here.

Yes, he was all black and white with brown eyes though his fur colour fading wasn't all due to the bad light exposure even though it did do the most damage.

Taxidermied fur fades anyway due to it no longer getting all enrichment it would on the living animal (obvioudsly) and after his body was taxidermied he spent some time in museums before going into storage for a prolonged period of time which was a large part of his faded fur colour.

Then you misquoted that page, as far as his eyes are concerned. Because you can clearly see that I noted his eyes were brown. And I have seen mention of that fact in some of the reference materials I used.


Yes, I realize that now. I apologize. I'm used to seeing husky's with blue eyes. Fixed the information.
