Sire: N4GM, "Son of Speckles", chestnut
Dam: M17GM, "Dee's Heart"

Longest time spent with one band: 5 Years with MSMS-G, "Chestnut"

Descendants:
None

Usual range:  North End of the island, usually from Km 3 to Km 7

Interesting tidbits:  Little Paka came from tough stock—both her sire and dam were hit by cars (but not at the same time) and both survived.  Dee’s Heart escaped with only a few minor scrapes, but Son of Speckles was more seriously injured.  Although born in the developed area, Little Paka lived most of her life on the North End.
