When an individual has different amounts of melanin in each of their irises, their eyes are different colors. Heterochromia iridium (the scientific name for two different color eyes in the same individual) is relatively rare in humans but common in some animals, such as horses, cats, and certain species of dogs. A variation on the condition is heterochromia iridis, in which an individual has a variety of colors within one iris.
Heterochromia iridium is thought to result from an alteration to one of the genes that controls eye color. This can be an inherited trait, although trauma and certain medications may result in increased or decreased pigmentation in one of the irises. Certain medical syndromes, such as Waardenburg syndrome, may also cause someone to have two different colored eyes.

nicely, of direction, Granny Jill loves you and loves each little thing approximately you. i visit be the dark horse, the black sheep, the only to interrupt the spell (bless you, the poet and me the reader - additionally vice versa). nicely, to be straightforward with you, there have been aspects of the poem that i got here across uninteresting - i know this would sound weird and wonderful, because of the fact poets are assume to have imagery and outlines etc and so on, yet i do no longer like it lots. So i'm going to easily say that i got here across the stanza that starts with "The purple wood fence skirted" by "horse brushes and blankets" uninteresting. i admire the final line that announces "leather-based and wild hair" i think of i got here across it uninteresting since's a super sort of description, yet no feeling till i'm getting to leather-based and wild hair. regardless of the undeniable fact that, I do exactly like the final stanza - that's a sturdy ending. i assume i'd have enjoyed greater with reference to the pony and the boy - it has greater connection, feeling, intimacy than all that description of the placement. of direction, you additionally could make description of the placement interesting in case you tie it top. ok tie your laces, will you? or you are able to holiday over them, whichever you like?
