Our charcoal smoke Bengal, not-so-coincidentally named Smoke, loves water and demands I fill his pool when the weather is warm enough. Unfortunately his pool days for the year are about over and I'm putting it away today. He will be vocal about his displeasure about losing his cabana, but it's icing over dude!
Bengals are typically golden colored. Smoke is a charcoal smoke bengal. His fur under the dark is white, you can see it when he gets out of the water, that's what makes him a smoke bengal, just the tips of his fur are dark, giving him a smokey look. It's similar to a melanistic bengal, but their fur is all black. We like to say Smoke is a snow bengal at heart (he also adores snow).
