I wouldn't call it weird, but it's a bit unusual, yes. Probably simply because there are a lot more autosomal genes, so more possibilites there for color mutations.

A few other species with sex-linked colors:

Syrian hamsters. Their yellow works exactly like orange for cats: heterozygous females are torties! I think it's a relatively common color for them too?

Several chicken colors: for example silver, barred and chocolate. These breed differently than the mammal sex-linked colors: i think there's no chromosome inactivation in the ZW system, so heterozygotes don't look mosaic-y. Instead, it's dominant-recessive (zz and zw has the same phenotype, and Zz, ZZ and Zw also the same) or intermediate based on simply allele numbers (zz looks the same as zw, Zz looks the same as Zw, and ZZ looks different from both).

The rooster is homozygous (two barring alleles), the hen is hemizygous (one barring allele).

Pigeons also have sex-linked color genes including one that seems to be called simply major color gene. (Or more scientifically TYRP1. This is a common color gene in mammals, too - however for them, it's not sex-linked!)

My pregnant wife was shot in the chest as she prepared to receive our first child.

I never imagined that I would write these words or live this nightmare.

My wife is in her fifth month of pregnancy, and she was trying to live simple moments of joy in the midst of the war. I went out that day to see some of the children's clothes and prepare the needs of our first baby that we are waiting for impatiently.

But instead of returning home carrying clothes for our child, she returned to the hospital soaked in her blood after being shot in the chest.

In moments our dreams and joy turned into fear and terror. We ran to the hospital where she underwent emergency surgery to check on her life and the life of our unborn child. Due to difficult conditions and lack of medical capabilities, doctors have not been able to remove the bullet, and it is still stable inside its chest until now.

If you were able to help or share our story with others, you would have given our family hope at a time when hope has become scarce

IF I DIE, PLEASE HELP MY FAMILY SURVIVE AFTER ME.

One of the strangest Roblox bugs of all time in my opinion is this one recorded by Hackerhunter100, in November 2009. "whenever you play roblox and spore at the same time the files mix and everything glitches"

twitter user wiredmjx also left a technical explanation in the comments as to why this could happen

Remarkable rendering bug. It's caused by two processes: XPDM (basically the thing that manages WinXP graphics) and DirectX 9. Essentially, XPDM allows both Spore and Roblox to access the same memory, while DX9 was a lot more lax with how it handles reading & writing memory. 1/x First, Spore writes its graphics into the memory, the specific image you're seeing in Roblox is the depth buffer (which is a greyscale image that indicates how close objects are to the camera). Roblox then asks for some memory to write its own graphics (a cubemap skybox) to. 2/x DX9 hands over that memory WITHOUT CLEARING IT because it expects the programmer (whoever wrote the Roblox renderer) to do so. Roblox however also fails to clear that memory. It uses data still in that memory block (Spore's depth buffer) and puts it on the cubemap. 3/x Now, the Roblox renderer doesn't know whether this is valid data or not, it doesn't check at all what the data is. The remarkable part is that it just so happens it IS valid data! So instead of getting a crash, you get this Spore monster in the skybox :) 4/x This bug was likely fixed around 2010 with the Roblox renderer now correctly clearing the skybox cubemap texture memory prior to use. This kind of issue is now extinct on modern computers, as the modern equivalent of XPDM doesn't let programs access eachothers memory anymore. 5/5

other people in the comments have struggled replicating this same bug from what i saw, but other people have reported that this happened to them as a kid

it also seems like textures got carried over bertween the two. spore had these weird graphical issues (left i stretched back into shape but i cant tell what this is)

and theres some ui elements here in roblox. this appears to be graphics_atlas~/NoGroup_ScrollFrameVerticalGeneric-00.png

it has various card backgrounds for badges, planets, creatures, outfitted creatures...? (if culture refers to that), missions, planets, plants, rares, and stars

theres also button backgrounds - badges has red butons - creature is tealish blue - culture is yellow - mission is dull green - planet is grey - plant is bright green - rares is lime green - star is a paler blue - vehicle is brown

as well as captions for these buttons. this includes Badges, Buildings, Creatures, Flora, Missions, Planets (theres like three for planets alone), Races, Stars, Vehicles

theres also mockups for creature cards with 2006 creatures, so this seems to be the point of development this was

various icons, including the food web, allies and colonies, harvester vehicles, relationship icons seemingly, and a spice icon thats an actual plant. remarkably a lot of these icons (buildings, sea vehicles, diet icons) are the same as final

but a lot arent!

and theres more cards

this one remains in much smaller resolution in final (second image) as an rw4 file in the animations~ folder, which suggests it was going to be used for an effect? there it was called spd_starcard_paganel_bg

theres also this ufo abduct icon

the mockups in the mvj (multiverse journal) folder on the spore website had some card merchandise, which matches all these cards

and in the 2006 e3 showcase they were also shown. the sporepedia was much more cardlike at this point in development than final

heres the creature cards overlaid over one of the card backgrounds. i dont think the black background shown in the e3 footage is present here? but the wild creature background still is

these are respectively boarzard, bunzo (carnivore? but i would assume it was still an omnivore mouth at that point in dev??), creature11 (same with the diet)

elephant (its also aawkwaard somewhere, and retained in final as dwobble), garoupa, herocreature (screeble) (why is it a carnivore again????)

judder, mauli (wrong diet again), pica

spidereye (which is missing a diet and is glowing and named differently from literally the same creature judder), sporzelle (looks pretty much the same in the feb 19 build but now named duke), and tash (wrong diet again; that would have been a carnivore mouth at the time even)

Sweet Paraffin and This Road is Glowing are two tracks in particular I really enjoy.
