How to restrict the range of a parametric plot and draw the branches in different colors

Hi The following plot

var('t')
parametric_plot( (8*(6+t)/(t^2-16), 2*(8+ 3 *t)/(t^2-16)), (t, -6, 6),detect_poles=True)

has three branches. 1) For some reason, the result is not correct. Restricting via

var('t')
 parametric_plot( (8*(6+t)/(t^2-16), 2*(8+ 3 *t)/(t^2-16)), (t, -6, 6),xmin=-3,xmax=3)

also fails How to plot the branches in different colors?
