It is reasonable to assume that they also changed the color of the meech. But maybe they didn't for some reason.
In case you are wondering why they changed the color... have you ever heard of the Pink Panther? Just like on earth, brighter colors are more entertaining in oddworld than the dull browns and grays and greens and oranges that are common.
To answer your second question, most members here would say that they are almost 100% sure we will see a meech in a future game. Whether it be a game that takes place in the past, before they were extinct or a game that shows us the last stragglers in some cave or something (meeches useully don't live in caves, seeing as how they hunt elums).
It is rumored that a herd of meeches were put on a special island by glukkons. It is sort of a hunting range where they are killing off the rest of the meeches for entertainment.

Nicely put khanzumer! I do think that meeches will be in a future game as well. Why would they introduce us to them...have us fall in love, and say, "eh, I dunno if we're gonna put them in a game!" I do think that OWI just wanted to show us how destructive Glukkons are, and that they don't care about the environment...only profits! I think OWI is setting it up so they can make a pre-quintology taking place befor the present one. OWI has pleny of good material to make games forever!
