yes but melanism occurs at different rates in different species. a melanistic fox can be rarer than a melanistic jaguar, in the same way that a two-headed dog is rarer than a two-headed snake
do I have data on whether different species have different genes, and thus are affected differently by genetic conditions? I mean, it’s just sort of inherent to the concept of species, no? I guess as a specific example, I could say that the rate of melanism in humans is none, and the rate of melanism in some other species is not none, as evidenced by the fact that the concept of melanism exists, therefore melanism doesn’t occur in all species at the same rate

Got any data on that?

That’s not exactly data specific to the claim in the post, which is my question. Sorry for asking basic scientific questions.
well I didn’t make the claim in the post, so I don’t know why you’re asking me to justify it
Fair, I conflated the rarest claim with your facts. Sorry about that. Cheers, mate.
