So calling your game "Mixed Genetics" might have been a bad idea to start with, but the help menu is just making things worse.

"Sometimes an animal with the wrong torso may look pure, but it's not! The animal on the left is not pure; the animal on the right is pure:

Use the Unmixed Genetics Guide in the lower-left corner of the game screen as your reference to see how a purebred animal should look."
