cascade, noun: a small waterfall
headwaters, noun: the place where a stream starts before it flows into a river i assume something like the number of markings would start off small and slowly spread out?
small note: if this gets accepted; first of all thank you so much i adore this species and second; i don't mind hair on them as long as it isn't long? at most a tiny mowhawk [re-read the main post; this is meant for like, hair on their head. if he gets a full blown mane i'd cry because that's beautiful]
