The Seal Lynx point emerged as a natural result of early Bengal breeding, when many cats were used to create the filial generation, and the recessive Siamese gene remained.
Genetically, the Seal Lynx is CS/CS which means that it has two copies of the Siamese albino gene.
When Seal Lynx kittens are born, they are often pure white, although some can be born showing a shadow of their contrast. Either way, their contrasting markings begin to darken as the kitten matures and in some cats, this darkening can continue for a couple of years.
Seal Lynx Point Bengals have a coat that is the lightest of the three varieties, with markings in light to medium brown, grey, or taupe. They are the lightest of the three snows, which gives them a beautiful high contrast "snow leopard" appearance as they mature.
Seal Lynx Snow Bengals are the only bengals that have true blue eyes, making them quite outstanding:
