>Design a page that shows coat colors, including ticking. NOT photographs

>colors, and gerbils during various stages of maturation. Add notes to
>help a novice decide what color a gerbil is. (Genetics info would be
>incidental.)

>** Additional illustrations of gerbils coloration --

>This would supplement Eva Maisel's drawings for NGS Standards. Similar
>drawings (maybe the same ones) but use colors from photos (as suggested
>above). Full-screen size, with notes and arrows to highlight what
>distinguishes THIS gerbil from other colorations.
>
>** Gerbil genetics flash cards that can be printed out
>
>Gary's scheme for learning what genetics symbols represent.
>
>** Gerbil clipart (free of copyright) for use in screensavers, holiday
>cards, stationery
>
>For both screen apps and hi-res for printout. With aids so a kid can
>print a sheet of stationery to write an actual snail mail note to someone.

>Just BTW -- a few people with lots of kids experience might co-ordinate
