Many other animal species may also be "pied" or piebald including, but not limited to, [[bird]]s and [[squirrel]]s. A piebald [[Eastern gray squirrel]] named [[Pinto Bean (squirrel)|Pinto Bean]] gained prominence at the [[University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign]] after many students shared pictures and videos of it online.<ref name="news-gazette">{{cite news |last=Simmons |first=Ethan |title=Farewell to 'Pinto Bean,' UI's precious piebald squirrel |url=https://www.news-gazette.com/news/local/university-illinois/farewell-to-pinto-bean-uis-precious-piebald-squirrel/article_15a69d01-c806-58d0-b3bb-8b444a36f445.html |newspaper=The News-Gazette |access-date=17 February 2023 |date=13 October 2022 }}</ref> [[Snake]]s, especially [[ball python]]s and [[corn snake]]s, may also exhibit seemingly varying patches of completely pigmentless scales along with patches of pigmented scales. In 2013, a piebald [[Python brongersmai|blood python]] was discovered in [[Sumatra]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showthread.php?197016-Piebald-bloods&p=2099148#post2099148 |title=Piebald Bloods |website=Ball-Pythons.net }}</ref> Some [[domesticated silver fox]]es born from the Russian Institute of Cytology and Genetics also carry this coloring.{{Citation needed|date=September 2024}}

[[Bicolor cat]]s carry the white spotting gene (incorrectly called the piebald gene). The same pattern that applies to cats also applies to dogs when the white spotting gene involved is indeed piebald and not another white-causing gene found in dogs. The piebald gene is also found in cows, ferrets, domestic goats, goldfish, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, and fancy rats.{{Citation needed|date=September 2024}}
