It would be great to have at least one image for this article. That said, because of the relatively short life of the Ancon, few photos exist, and those that do are heavily licensed. The one classic image from the 40's of 3 sheep staring out of their pen is maintained by Getty for Time and has not been released despite Getty's recent policy changes (this might change though, as Getty just declared a huge policy change to the press this morning). The only other quality image I could find is from the 60's, of a single sheep held by one male person inside a pen and is published here via Memorial University: https://www.mun.ca/biology/scarr/Achondroplastic_sheep.gif I will attempt to contact Memorial to inquire as to the status of this image; Im not sure where this image came from but it would be great to use if possible. If anyone else can find one it would be greatly appreciated! Jaydubya93 (talk) 22:35, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

section: significance to the history of biology, last sentence "which also made rapid mutation unusually likely, since other species and breeds are set apart from their progenitors by many traits".

i belive it tries to say that one random event (mutation) happening at a time is more likely than two or more random events happening in a coincidence, but apart from this statement being offensively trivial and having no need to be here in this article (however it would be well justified to be included in the course of a detailed explanation of genes, genetics, mutation, evolution, etc), the sentence as it is now is rather obscurely phrased. 176.63.176.112 (talk) 17:13, 16 October 2016 (UTC).[reply]
