Good question/good thought Shorty!! I don't know the answer to that. I suspect you are right. The cuckolders and sneakers supposedly have short life spans and never get big. However, in our work, we only defined sneaks/cucks as mature males of small size. Mother Nature is funny about keeping things going -- I wonder if a small, mature male ever gets to "change his mind" and grow big? If so, I'd expect him to change to the parental male coloration, so your thought again probably would be valid. As usual, my conclusion is I don't know. Dang.
