Arfak Chondros


The Arfak Mountains surround the Manokwari area.  They demonstrate several traits associated with highland animals such as melanism.  Nearly all the neonates we've seen are red.  Many Arfaks demonstrate cool blue undertones, and prominent cream dorsal diamonds, often bordered by black.
