Timothy,
             The animals to which you refer have been selectively
bred.Similarly, aviary birds with asymmetric colours can be seen in many pet
shops, eg some parrots and finches in particular. In Edinburgh, Scotland,
Blackbirds with asymetric patches of white were common when I studied there,
each individual being quite distinct, allowing their territories to be
readily worked out.
                                                Cheers
                                                          Michael
