Line 8:
The ''Lp'' ([[leopard complex]]) gene is responsible for the leopard color pattern in [[horse]]s,<ref name=spon82/><ref name=sponenbergbook/> which not only produces a spotted [[equine coat color|coat color]] but also causes [[mottling]] of the skin, a white [[sclera]] around the eye, and striped [[horse hoof|hooves]]. Horses with the ''Lp'' gene may be spotted all over, or may have concentrations of spots in various patterns.
Some other animal breeds like dogs, such as [[Dalmatian (dog)|Dalmatian]]s, [[Catahoula Leopard Dog]]s and [[American Leopard Hounds]] also have similar leopard color patterns.
