Hello everybody!

This seems to be a silly question but I'd like to know: why is there huge difference among F8's marks? At the other hand we can have two quite different F8s marked with the exatcly #8 on their back... What does that mean?

I'm so curious...

That's an excellent question!

and now to answer it:
The Magical Crab!

... oh darn, I keep forgetting he doesn't speak english.

Just one of those things as their markings develop as they grow. A classic figure of 8 mark is how they got their name but you can get some with some very striking patterns that have no figure of 8 to be seen.

It's kinda like a human thumb print or a snowflake, they look similar but are all different.

That was what I expected... just like zebra's marks, they all look similar but are very different too. Nature's mystery.

Thanks for your time!
