Animal Oddities
Published on September 11, 2009 | 50 commentsIs 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.
Pink Dolphin
From what is being dubbed as the hot pink dolphin off of the Gulf of Mexico to two headed animals, oddities seem to happen a few times a year and they fascinate us every single time.
Giant Hog
This giant hog was discovered weighing over one thousand pounds and was nine feet, four inches long.
Giant Squid
A giant squid was discovered and it weighs and astounding nine hundred and ninety pounds.
Giant Killer Sea Worm
A giant killer sea worm was discovered when workers couldn’t figure out what was killing the reef. This worm can numb a person for the rest of their life.
Six Foot Tall Cow
This six foot tall cow was discovered by its owners. Even though he only eats during the day he is still the biggest cow on record.
Giant Jumping Rat
A Giant jumping rat the size of a rabbit was discovered lately and it is the largest one ever discovered of its kind.
Giant Shark
This giant shark was caught and weighed eleven hundred pounds and measured thirteen feet in length. This shark was the largest of the species of shark.
Giant Stingray
The giant stingray was discovered and weighed in at seven hundred and seventy one pounds.
Giant Stick Bug
This giant stick bug was discovered and measured in at a whopping twenty-two inches in length.
Giant Alligator
This giant alligator was discovered and he was 17 feet in length and weighed in at thirteen hundred pounds.
Giant Bunny
This giant bunny is well fed and the owners are proud to have it in their home.
Cyclops Cat
This Cyclops cat was born without a nose and with only one eye. He only lived for one day.
Six Legged Frog
Six legged frogs are found all over the country and they are believed to be developing that way due to water run off from farms, which contains poison and pesticides.
Two Faced Kitten
Two faced kittens are born and can live to be full grown cats.
Albino Alligator
Albino alligators are a rarity to see, but are fascinating nonetheless.
White Buffalo
White buffalo’s are seen as sacred by the Native American tribes, when theses calves are born the Native American’s hold drum ceremonies to honor them.
Two-faced Cow
Two-faced cows are born and are not slated to survive very long, but can have a productive life.
Four Legged Duckling
Four legged ducklings are a rare occasion, but are interesting to see.
Giant Shortraker
Giant animals are another in the worlds oddities that have been discovered as of lately. This giant shortraker rockfish was discovered and is forty-four inches in length and weighs sixty-six pounds.
With all these strange oddities happening, whether they are by the hands of us and the chemicals we use to make our food or by the hands of just Mother Nature herself we can only guess at what is causing these things to happen in every day life. Maybe it is a wake up call and maybe it is just something we all need to be in awe of.

omg, that “bunny” is HUGE (O_O). interesting article
Funny how the first thing mentioned was how BIG something was
oh shyea
And you thought only politicians were two-faced!
Good point!
How do you know it wasn’t a political animal?
OMgosh dude that pink dolphin is amazing!
Why do we have to kill them? Just because they are big?
YES, dear God yes.
yeah! In over half the pictures they are dead. So sad.
I get your point but 5 out of 18 does not equal 1/2.
Mike actually only 12 are big…(which is what Monica was referring to). So technically its 5 out of 12 smart ass
and 5/12 still isnt 1/2, but nice try
Well, sorry to tell u but the giant squid was dead or quickly died and they took it back somewhere to research it (I want to say UCLA but I could be wrong, you can find all the videos of them defrosting it and sticking cameras inside of it online, it is quite interesting and disgusting at the same time), so the initial statement of over half is an overstatement, but half is a correct summation, so i believe that we can let it rest now. Unless the stick bug was also dead, then it was correct to be outraged at over half of the oversized creatures appearing dead. JUUUUST saying…LOL
“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…”
WHAT!? you show some hoaxes, some photoshops and some perfectly natural specimens and blame them on hormones and pesticides? How?
+1
Did you look at links below each photo?
yes… a lot of the links don’t even relate to the picture, or have any details about the picture.
for example… the link under the “giant killer sea worm” links to an article about the evolution of snake’s jaw structures, and makes no reference to a giant sea worm.
Also, the link under the “cyclops cat” just links to the exact same picture at a website called http://www.funlol.com... hardly a reference.
It’s plainly obvious that while some of these are real, the majority of them are either photoshops or hoaxes. I mean look at the 4 legged duck… that person is obviously holding two ducklings, hiding one’s head behind the other’s body.
Thanks for info. Links changed.
the spirit bear might be a nice addition to your list

Even if most of them are photoshopped, article is still entertaining
mmm pesticides.
F’ING SHARK IS THE DEVIL.
/NIGHTMARES
Hey Euphoria (author of this post) — did you even read the link under the shark picture? The link says the shark was 9 meters, not 13 feet… Furthermore, you mention that this was the “largest species of shark” which is not even close to true. The largest species of shark is the Whale Shark. The article you linked to mentions that this Basking Shark was the largest shark caught in Japanese waters.
LOL! I am not author, I just published this post. I probably made a mistake while linking… Sorry for that
Apparently YOU did not read it. The comment does not say largest species it says largest caught of it’s species (not the exact wording). In other words the largest specimen of that species of shark. If you are going to correct people you better make sure you know what you are talking about first or you end up looking dumb or illiterate.
Clearly whoever posted this is a joke
poor cyclops kitty. my heart goes out to suffering animals.
Why, oh why are a lot of these animals dead? Especially that hog. Do we always have to kill, kill, kill?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Check out the snake with a claw…

its funny how only the cute ones were spared, the rest of them can go to hell.
Check out the dog that has flippers

i guess discovered also means shot…
That cyclop over there is a monkey, not a cat.
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 hog would weigh way over 1000 pounds if real. more like 2000
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.
Oh boy! A bunch of uncredited, unsourced Snopes-bait on the web! I never thought I’d live to see the day!
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.
We have to admit though, these are very interesting pictures. Besides, fact is usually stranger than fiction.
Hi! I like your article and I would like very much to read some
more information on this issue. Will you post some more?
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.
Kitty-Leela
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…
