      Hello, I would like to see examples of mutations that affect and change the facial features.

      Until now I only see examples of changes in pigmentation or aberrations. So if anyone has photos of mutations in the face of an animal (but which are not aberrations) I like to see them.

      Thank you.

      HI ! 😀 I have noticed that Persian cats are very flat face and nose, and have changed a lot in a short time, it’s true.

      How is this obtained?

      A mutation caused them to have this type of face?

      Or were selecting cats with a little more flat face, gradually to get one with a very flat face?
