德國牧羊犬產下“綠巨人”幼犬

A North Carolina dog is going viral due to his unusual lime-green hue — which has earned him the moniker “Hulk puppy.”

北卡羅萊納的一只狗因其不尋常的灰綠色而走紅，這也為它贏得了“綠巨人小狗”的綽號。

Owner Shana Stamey, 35, said that their white German shepherd, Gypsy, gave birth to a litter of eight pups on Friday morning. The delivery went according to plan until puppy No. 4 came out lime green, causing Stamey to “freak out,” the mother told her local NBC outlet.

35歲的主人莎娜·斯塔米說，他們的白色德國牧羊犬“吉普賽”在周五早上產下了一窩8只小狗。這名母親告訴當?shù)氐拿绹珖鴱V播公司(NBC)，分娩一直按計劃進行，直到4號小狗出生時變成了灰綠色，這讓斯塔米“抓狂”。

Despite its green hue, the dog was perfectly healthy, according to Suzanne Cianciulli, a veterinarian technician at Junaluska Animal Hospital. The animal expert attributes the pup’s peculiar coloration to being marinated in meconium — the puppies’ stool — while in the mother’s birth sack.

朱納魯斯卡動物醫(yī)院的獸醫(yī)蘇珊娜·希安西爾麗說，盡管它是綠色的，但它非常健康。這位動物專家認為，小狗的特殊顏色是在母體的胎糞中浸泡的結果。

The pigment anomaly “can especially color white fur,” says Cianciulli.

Cianciulli說，這種色素異常“尤其會使白色皮毛變紅”。

Nonetheless, the owner has since grown fond of the St. Patrick’s-colored pup, even affectionately naming him Hulk because “he was lime green and super mad,” says Stamey.

盡管如此，主人后來還是喜歡上了這只圣帕特里克色的小狗，甚至親切地給它起名為“綠巨人”，因為“它是灰綠色的，超級瘋狂。”斯塔米說。

Runner-up names included “Gremlin,” “Pistachio” and even “Pikachu” — as his color has begun to fade to yellow, according to Hulk’s proud owner. After a couple washes, the emerald tinge is expected to disappear entirely.

排名第二的名字包括“格萊姆林”、“開心果”，甚至還有“皮卡丘”——據浩克的主人透露，他的膚色已經開始變黃了。經過幾次清洗后，祖母綠的色調將完全消失。

Stamey, who plans to put Hulk and company up for adoption when they’re old enough, says she sees her temporary fur baby as “a good luck charm” — like a shamrock.

斯塔米打算等綠巨人和他的同伴們長大了再收養(yǎng)他們。她說她把這個暫時的毛皮娃娃看作是“好運符”——就像三葉草一樣。
