Range

There are two types this marking come in and there is no differance in the genotype when it come to how the marking looks. The maximum range of each type is shown in BLUE and the minimum range is shown in YELLOW in the 'range pictures'.

Erusia

The Erusia form take the inspirational look after the Eurasian badger. Most commonly the marking shows like a band covering both eyes in a blackish color that starts at the small "forelock" and then ends at the corner of the donkeys mouth.
Examples of Erusia (both heterozygous (nMs) & homozygous (MsMs)) of the marking

In some homozygous cases the donkey can also get a dark band on the bottomside of the neck. The eyebands are also usually wider then.

Merica

The Merica form take the inspirational look after the American badger. This form usually sports a dark symmetrical patch that covers the front of the face like a bald (big white) marking. The marking usually swirls around the eyes even if there are some 'connection' at the 'base' of the eye. The marking also cover a small portion of the neck (but not the ears) and then fades out into the basecoat.

In the homozygous form there are usually two "badges" on the cheeks, as well as a bigger cover of the neck. There are also a slight 'shading" on the troat.
