U bar, Y bar

[hallenhe]

Inspired by the Sambava development thread, which I didn't want to hijack - there was talk about the Sambavas routinely having a "U" bar, while Ambilobes will have a "Y" or "V" bar. My Ambilobe has opted for a blotch (an "O" bar?) instead. I remember someone once commenting that they hadn't seen that before on an Ambilobe, and I'm just curious for the perspective of anyone else who's seen a lot of Ambilobes. (And I know Thaxter's Special whether or not he has a "rare" pattern.)

Can't help but "I" bar!

I thought the "V" or "Y" bar was the one located right above the front leg on the ambilobes, and the "U" bar on sambavas was located more middle back. Maybe I'm wrong, someone with experience with sambavas and ambilobes should be able to help though.

A couple edited pics for reference borrowed from your thread and the other one.

First one: the "U" bar sambava

Next 2: "V" bar ambilobe, and your what I thought is the location of the "V" or "Y" photo. Like I said, I could be wrong. I just though the letter shaped bar loaction was different between the to locales as well.
