Hi All,
So I got this book as a must have, recommended by Tom - 100% correct, it is excellent, and for me a can't put it down book.
But with new information comes new 'wonderings' and the follow-up question.
The author specifically states that sulcata are very homogenous across their range, as they were actually used as money, and gifts. That there range was 'artificially' extended by virtue of their value, and being traded about. Apparently this is recorded to have been going on over 1,000's years.
So what makes any sulcata a mutt?
And again, thanks to Tom, for suggesting I get this book.
Will
