Blue-eyed babies

Post

This may not be necessary but I thought this could add a little touch of detail. Some animals (including some people) are born with blue eyes that later become darker as time goes on. This is due to lack of melanin that the animal is born with but will eventually gain. Domestic cat kittens, for example, are always born with blue eyes that start getting hints of green/orange/whatever adult eye color the closer they are to adulthood (this usually begins at 6-7 weeks). By the time they are adults their eyes will no longer be blue (unless the cat is supposed to have blue eyes throughout its life).

Nichelings would be born with blue eyes that they will keep through the baby and child stages. When they are teens they have a ring of their adult color around their pupil, and when they are an adult they have no blue at all. If a nicheling has blue eyes in its dominant allele then its eyes won't change of course. Again this is just a little detail and it doesn't even occur in all animals but I thought I'd still suggest it. :)

the above picture is a jaguar or leopard with melanism (black panther) and as you can see it has faint markings. thought id take the opportunity to link this suggestion which suggests faint markings for melanistic creatures https://strayfawnstudio.com/community/index.php?/topic/4753-melanism-has-faint-patterns/

My mothers eyes only turned green when she was 13. I imagine that as super freaky like you don't remember it when you are 3 or so years old but when you are 13?!
