Have you scence all the looks to Balto:

Ok now has you can see they have different pictures of him. If you look at the statue of him and the book cover you can see his tail is curled, BUT if you see the real picture of his real body you can see his tail wasn't in a curl, and you can also see the other side of the tail like you can see through it to the other side like someone cut of some fur maybe. Look at his cartoon picture now. Look at his eyes, thet have brown circles. In the book cover you see white circles. Look at his real body you can hardly make out the white around his eyes. Now the paws the book cover and Balto's real body have matching paws, but all of you know that the cartoon Balto was wolf/dog. What's kind of similiar with the cartoon and the body of Balto is that they have brown coats, other than the book cover it has a black coat unless it's a dark shading of brown. What also is different when you look at the real Balto's body you can see a reflection or something and I don't think it's a different dog cause the paws kinda look the same, too. But that means there is another model of him. For those of you that have seen the real Balto's body display please comment to tell you have scene another body display.

Umm....um, yes, they are all different. I've seen all of those "looks" that "Balto" has had, or been given. (That was a good little book, btw!) But like, you do realize that a dog can possibly curl and uncurl its tail...? And I wasn't clear on a lot of what you pointed out, such as the "seeing through the other side of the tail as if someone cut some fur off" or something...but, I see what you're getting at. It's a nice group of images and interesting to compare..

The statue was made only 10 months after the Serum Run, and he was younger, so his tail would be fuller. Balto's body would have fur out because before he was sold to the museum, him and his team were part of sideshows and were abused, sadly, so his fur might have worn and everything. The real Balto's fur was black. The lights from the museum make it much lighter. As for the movie, Balto was made to look more wolf-like, to make a point that he was an outcast and they wanted him to look like he was part wolf (even though the real Balto was a purebred husky). Regarding the book cover: the illustrators might have made a slight mistake with the paws and the other markings. You can see the eye markings, though, very faintly on the eyes of Balto's stuffed body. Hope that helped

I think Apri-werewolf has hit several nails on their heads for you.

Baltos fur faded to brown ^^ it isnt just that he was brown, it faded to brown after some time of being... eh... stuffed. ^^;;;; he just had his colours beggining to fade... he was black and white, like on the book. :/

Ok, first of all, The book cover is RIGHT. Balto wasn't really brown, and I know, you all think he was because of the rl pic. But he was black and white. The color in his fur faded(he's dead and all, ya know) from a black to brownish color. And this has been mentioned before: dogs can curl and uncurl their tails. It just so happens that his tail got uncurled. http://aolsearch.aol.c om/aol/redir?src=image&clickedItemURN= Details h ttp://blog.cleveland.com/pdworld/2007/10/balto.jpg http://aolsearch.aol.com/aol /redir?src=image&clickedItemURN= Details Notice in each pic. Balto is black and white.
