Yeah weird! I wasn't sure if it was something genetic or if it was put there as part of a tracking project or something..?

Older EGKs naturally get white fur on their muzzles as they age. Usually it is along most of the length of the muzzle. Also I have not seen it as starkly white as this. This would not be a mark placed by any approved research project. I think it is most likely natural, but certainly unusual.
