pigmentation
• at maturity flanks are flecked with yellow hairs and bellies may appear dark gray
• appearance is similar to homozygous non-agouti mice
• yellow perineal hairs are present in the first coat distinguishing heterozygotes from homozygotes by 12 days of age
• shows epistatic supression of light bellies in mice heterozygous for Aw. white bellied agouti
• skin is dark, ears and nipples are especially obvious
