Bizarre Genetic Mutation Makes Animals Look Like Sheep Hybrids

Dogs bark, cats meow, and birds tweet, but animals with the rex mutation look like sheep hybrids. This fluffy genetic mutation affects pigs, dogs, horses, and more, giving them a sheep-like appearance. The rex gene is rare in nature, but humans breed animals for their fluffiness. Rabbits were among the first to be bred for this trait, but the trend didn't stop there. Breeders now create genetic lines with the rex gene in cats, chickens, guinea pigs, and more. These exotic animals draw attention, like the T-Rex cat, named for its Tennessee origins, with its distinctive coat that shimmers in sunlight. Four breeds of cats now carry this unique follicle formation. Take a look at these incredible creatures!
