A rare puppy was born in Italy with a unique green coat. The fascinating sight has captivated locals and animal lovers, sparking curiosity about the dog’s green coat.
Cristian Mallocci, owner of Spelacchia, was extremely shocked to see his dog give birth to a very special puppy.
Spelacchia gave birth to a litter of five puppies, four of which were white like their mother. However, the last male born, named Pistacchio, had green fur.
Why is a puppy’s fur green when they are born?
The birth of a dog with blue fur has resonated with social media users, attracting the attention of scientists.
According to scientists, dogs come in many different shapes and colors, but the extremely rare green color is thought to be due to a combination of factors.
Biliverdin is a bile pigment, and it is believed that the blue fur of puppies is created when these pigments mix with the amniotic fluid during the mother’s pregnancy.
The second reason is believed to be meconium, which is the puppy’s first bowel movement in the womb, causing its fur to turn a different color.
Although it is an extremely rare condition, green fur can fade over time when we bathe our puppies.
