 The colour is very variable, not only individually, but according to 

 age and sex, which has given rise to several supposed distinct species. 

 But they all resemble each other in habits and dentition, they occupy 

 one common place of rest, and their new-born, or very young, are of a 

 uniform colour. The ears of the adult are, in all, more or less distinctly 

 margined with white.
