Animal Oddities

Editor: euphoria / September 11, 2009 / Category : Nature

Is animal oddities Mother Nature’s way of telling us to let things happen naturally and stop giving animals hormones and to stop using pesticides? You be the judge. All over the world for decades there have been animal babies born with some sort of strange thing happening to them.

most of the giants are quite normal... the basking sharks are not exactly the biggest sharks but that one's a big one!! the colossal squid's the biggest ever caught but scientists are searching for bigger ones still... but some of the mutated animals... they're a result of the use of radiation and chemical products by human beings... for example i've a few types of two-headed fishes like this one http://www.sunshinecoastdaily.com.au/story/2009/01/12/two-headed-fish-found-noosa-boreen-point/ and i've seen a real two-headed cow, i tell you, the feeling's scary... totally different from how you feel here!! anyway, interesting post!! keep it up!! cheers...

OH MY GOSH, PLEASE DON'T LET "AL GORE" SEE THOSE. HE'LL CLAIM THAT THEY ARE THE RESULT'S OF "GLOBAL WARMING". IT'S VERY INTERESTING THAT THEY DO EXSIST.

Hi! I like your article and I would like very much to read some
more information on this issue. Will you post some more?
Evan

We have to admit though, these are very interesting pictures. Besides, fact is usually stranger than fiction.
Renee

While I agree that some of these are fake, I read also read an article about the giant hog that discounted claims of Photoshopping. The shark is obviously not a great white, and there is a real cow that is horse-sized, though I don't know if the cow in this picture is the same one. I also thought while looking at these, "Why did they have to kill them?" Then I realized that the reason they were even discovered is due to the fact that they were caught by fishermen and died from being out of water.

Oh boy! A bunch of uncredited, unsourced Snopes-bait on the web! I never thought I'd live to see the day!

The 6-legged frog has six legs due to a parasite that makes them develop several different abnormalities(more legs, more eyes, ETC.) while they are still tad poles.
bill

that hog would weigh way over 1000 pounds if real. more like 2000
TheJBJ

Nice list, but the HOG listed second was actually a persons pet. The hog got out one night and that stupid ass redneck kid shot it half a dozen times with a 50cal hand gun. He was a real f***ing idiot when he was interviewed and claimed that he didn't know it was someone's pet. Then the owners of the Hog were on the news crying because their pet was killed by the neighbor's kid. I hate rednecks.

That cyclop over there is a monkey, not a cat.

i guess discovered also means shot...

That "killer sea worm" is not poisonous at all nor does that link reference it being so. Its called a pile worm, and is commonly used as fish bait. They do bite however with pincer style teeth.
bexinc

most of these pictures are gross misrepresentations and photoshopped and most of the captions are wrong.

examples:

-the shark is a great white. great whites are nowhere near the largest shark species and 13 feet is not the largest specimen found.
-the hog, the alligator, and the cow are normal sized, just photoshopped and/or a trick of the camera
-the albino alligators are raised in captivity because they will not survive without their natural camouflage, so they are not very difficult to find

it's fine to post these pictures for fun, but don't post them as facts/truths.
Chandler

The shark is a tiger not a great white or the basking in the link. You can tell by the blunt nose and relatively short, curved to the side teeth. Great whites have a pointier snout and longer symmetrical triangular teeth.
Whippet

Why, oh why are a lot of these animals dead? Especially that hog. Do we always have to kill, kill, kill?
Merblaines

Because Whippet, we're destructive predators that enjoy killing things including ourselves. We suck, but maybe one day with genetic engineering we can produce an ethically sound and truly intelligent species...from dung grows the rose.
