Results from our forumRetina and fetusThere are three layers in the back of the eye: the retina, the choroid (which absorbs extra light), and the sclera. Thus, e is the choroid, and f is the sclera. Yes, your answer for the second question is correct.

Re: Subspecies comparison of the Genus: Corucia... (>7 vs. 5-6 for zebrata).

It is possible that this larger type is a third distinct subspecies. But I don't know ...
