The mod used to have skins based around biomes; the devs removed them when they remodeled the mobs because 1. too much work and 2. real-life animals aren't that differently colored from eachother.

That said, the devs do want to implement melanism and albinoism. So variations of skins are planned. Ok, good to know someone's actually giving me feedback on my suggestions rather than just criticizing them.
