You do remember Tina’s little lecture don’t you? The goat is just one of many forms, in reality the three of them are all parts of one giant, winged, fire-breathing lion.
Some might pause and wonder about someone from the Mediterranean area being blonde being unusual.
This takes some deep thinking.
Currently, NATURAL blondes are as rare as redheads, at about 2% of the population each. Light hair is not a dominant trait; if a blonde and a dark-haired person have kids, the kids have a 75% chance of being dark-haired. We have been slowly, but inevitably, breeding light hair out of the gene-pool a bit more with each generation.
However, track that backwards: We’re at 2% and dropping now. 12,500 years ago, with blondes being a bit more common each generation as we move backward through time, then light hair colours would have to have been MUCH more common 446 generations ago. Nothing rare or unusual about Bud’s hair at all, really.
What YOU aren’t taking into account is that the same thing that turns hair brown also is what turns your skin brown. People that develop blond hair are the ones that are far enough north that pale skin doesn’t get sunburned. Greeks are known for having olive skin, which goes with dark brown or black hair.
Also your gene math is wrong. A blond and a brown haired couple have either a 50% or a 0% chance of a blond child, depending on whether the dark haired parent has a blond gene. The 25% chance comes from 2 brown parents that BOTH have a blond gene.
It occurs to me that Bud has very sharp teeth for a goat-analogue…

That grin is adorable!
“From that area, just not that era.”
