The strange world of deformed animals

You may shudder when you see a snake growing legs or a two-headed lizard, but that may be due to a genetic mutation, but they are not too scary.

.Pink dolphin

The familiar gray color that you often see in dolphins seems quite boring. Therefore, a pink dolphin will definitely attract your immediate attention and interest. In 2009, a pink dolphin was first discovered at Calcasieu Lake, Louisiana (USA), causing tourists to flock here to admire it. The number of curious people coming to see the pink dolphin was so great that local authorities asked them to leave the fish alone. The pink color of the dolphin in the photo is caused by albinism. However, there are some breeds of dolphins such as the Amazon river dolphin and the Chinese white dolphin that have a natural pink color

. Snake grows legs

In 2009, a Chinese woman suddenly woke up in the night and discovered a snake crawling on her bedroom wall with its feet. Some were so scared and worried that they thought it was a sign of the end of the world. In fact, there has not been any official scientific explanation given for the phenomenon of snakes with legs.

Many theories have been put forward, including the hypothesis that this strange creature is a turtle that has lost its shell – the result of horrifying biological experiments conducted at the Plum Island Animal Disease Research Center in right nearby. When experts got involved, they assumed that the monster was actually a dead raccoon. Due to floating in the water for a long time, the body is deformed and becomes horrible. But of course, not everyone is satisfied with the above explanation. Up to this point, there is still no 100% certain answer.

Genetically mutated chicken

Naturalist David Mizejewski posted this strange image on Animal Planet’s Animal Stories section and confessed that, although he is an expert in the field of animal identification, this strange chicken makes he… gave up! It could be a chicken or a parrot that has lost most of its feathers due to disease or any other cause. One hypothesis is that it has this shape due to a genetic mutation.

Two-headed beasts

The two-headed turtle is named Magdalena (one head is named Magda and the other head is named Lena).

Many animals are born with two heads and this is not a rare phenomenon. There are many examples such as two-headed snake, two-headed turtle, two-headed lizard, two-headed pig…
