15 Animals With Bizarre Mutations

Some see-through frogs offer proof of pollution effects. A three-headed frog suggests this.Transparent frogs.Russian scientists blame pollution for mutant frog transparency in central Russia. Their organs, skeletons, and hearts show through their skin. Some also have extra growths or limbs.

Vladimir Vershinin, head of zoology at the Ural Federal District University's Institute of Natural Sciences, said, "Frog eggs lack a membrane to protect them from a polluted environment."

Frank and Louie meet.They are the longest-living Janus cat on record."Janus" means the Roman God.The Roman God.The depiction with two faces causes diprosopia. This condition made Frank and Louie have three eyes, two noses, two mouths, and one brain.

Janus cats usually die soon after birth. Frank and Louie, however, lived to be 15 years old. They even got their own.Guinness World Record.They achieved it in 2006.

Stumpy was born at the Warrawee Duck Farm in the United Kingdom.He seemed to completely 'stump' his owner.Nicky Janaway had to keep recounting Stumpy's four legs after his birth. Stumpy ran on two legs while the extra ones dangled behind.

A fence snagged one of Stumpy's legs, requiring removal. His last extra leg turned black and fell off, leaving tiny stumps behind his two normal legs.Leaving tiny stumps behind his two functioning, normal legs.He had two normal legs left.

This one-footed snake was found scaling a wall.It scaled a woman's bedroom wall in Southwest China.Dean Qiongxiu, 66, claims the reptile worked its way along the wall using its claw. She then beat the snake to death with a shoe before putting the body in alcohol to preserve it. China's West Normal University studied the 16-inch long snake.

The most common snake mutation.Is the growth of a second head, but these heads often fight and die in the wild.They tend to attack each other, so little change occurs in the wild.

Rudy.The two-headed pig.Rudy was born on an Iowa farm in 1997. Most two-headed pigs die or are stillborn right after birth. Rudy was sold to "Pigs Without Partners" near nine months old. The Los Angeles animal rescue bought Rudy for $5,000 and named him "Ditto." A neurological disorder made Ditto constantly fall over, so he wore a helmet to protect his head.

The Los Angeles animal rescue bought Rudy for $5,000 and renamed him "Ditto." Ditto wore a helmet because a neurological disorder made him constantly fall over. A few months after moving, Ditto died asleep.Ditto's remains aided research into facial deformities in children.

Froggy, a six-legged, three-headed frog.Froggy was found in the garden of the Green Umbrella nursery. Nursery kids named him after him. Staff put him in a tank, but Froggy escaped before the news spread.

Biology professor Tim Halliday at Open University suggests the mutation stems from a genetic defect or parasites. He even speculates pollution affects the frog's hormones.

Eduardo Landin, 35, from Argentina got a big surprise. His dog gave birth to eleven puppies. One pup showed a deformity.The deformity looks like Dobby, the house elf from the Harry Potter series.The deformity looks like Dobby, the house elf from the Harry Potter series. Some people blame pesticides used on the local farmland.

People called Landin, saying the puppy was evil and urging him to kill it. He replied, "It is a mutation, but it isn't evil."

A Bengal kitten born in 2012 stunned everyone in the operating room. The mother struggled during birth, but no one expected the second kitten to look sophenomenally deformed.The kitten, Cleyed, had a rare deformity at birth, leaving him with one large eye and no nose. He died shortly after birth.

Follow-up posts on the viralYouTube videoOwners state Cleyed did not suffer. They say even trying to keep him alive would have been cruel.

If a one-eyed kitten seems strange, watch thisone-eyed shark fetusIt was found in a pregnant shark's belly. A commercial fishing crew caught it off the coast of Baja California Sur, Mexico. It has only one eye and is albino. Scientists say this shark results from the forebrain failing to split into two halves during development. Only one optic lobe formed, causing a single eye.

Fewer than 50 similar abnormalities have been recorded.

A goat with eight legs was judged to be anOcto-GoatThe Octo-Goat was born on a farm in northeast Croatia. Zoran Paparic's goat, Sarka, gave birth to the leggy kid and its two healthy siblings. Besides eight legs, the Octo-Goat also had male and female reproductive organs.

Local vets guess the goat's extra legs come from absorbing an underdeveloped twin sibling.

While an eight-legged goat is strange, p>a six-legged octopusmay be even stranger. Henry's keepers at the Blackpool Sea Life Centre call him a hexapus instead of an octopus.

Henry was born this way. A genetic defect caused his deformities, not an accident. They found him in a lobster pot off the coast of Wales, and Blackpool did not recognize his deficiency for a while.

Henry is thought to be the first known six-legged organism of its kind.

Aviral video of a bunnynear Japan's Fukushima power plant incited ideas about radioactive contamination. The bunny,was born without any earsAn earless bunny was found grazed near the 30km exclusion zone of the nuclear power station, alongside other rabbits. Experts doubt a link between the bunny and contamination, though a birth defect or contamination remains a possibility.

Rabbits born without ears occur infrequently.The deformity is possible.This happens through a genetic defect or when the mother bites off the ears while in distress.

During a long hot spell in China's Sichuan province, many cats developed wing-like growths.Many cats developed wing-like growths.Feng, a local cat owner, said stress caused her cat's deformities. The growths started as small lumps, quickly forming two "wings." These wings contain bones, but they do not affect the cat's quality of life.

Genetic experts suggest these wings form from poor grooming, genetic defects, or skin conditions.

Japanese fishermen caught a bottlenose dolphin and found something shocking. They alerted the Taiji Whaling Museum quickly. The dolphin had an extra set of fins near its tail.These fins resembled hind legs.While this is not always unusual, seeing the deformity symmetrically is rare.

Japanese researchers hope this discovery clarifies the theory of ocean mammals moving to land. Scientists think dolphins and whales were four-legged animals whose hind limbs vanished after adapting to water life.

A cow has three horns.This cow gained fame in China's Hebei province. It has two side horns and a large central horn on its forehead, making it a "tri-corn." People call it the "unicorn cow." The middle horn measures about eight inches long.

Farmer Jia Kebing noticed a small bump on the cow's forehead years before the full growth, but he did not expect the result.
