25 Surprisingly Real Life Animal Mutations

This goat with eight legs and both male and female reproductive parts was born on a farm in Croatia in 2014. Veterinarians believe that the reason for the animal’s extra legs and sex organ is an underdeveloped twin sibling.

Known as “Cleyed the Cyclops,” a one-eyed Bengal kitten with no nose was born in a veterinarian’s operating room in 2012. Sadly, the tiny kitten died very soon after coming into the world. Another kitten named Cy (pictured) was also born and died in one day in 2006.

A snake mutant with one clawed foot was discovered in Southwestern China in 2009. The snake was about 40 cm (16 in) long and thick as a little finger.

Children in a nursery in Weston-super-Mare, UK, were shocked when they found a three-headed, six-legged frog in their garden. An extra toe is quite common in frogs, but this kind of mutation had never been observed in them before (and not since then).

Not just one but several male cats with wing-like growths on their backs were reported in Southern China. Although the growths appeared fluffy, they actually contained bones. Veterinary experts said the “wings” did not harm the cats’ quality of life.

This cow was born with two extra legs on its back. The mutation of this animal was caused by radioactivity released during the Chernobyl Disaster in 1986. Even now, more than 30 years after the disaster, radioactivity can be still found in some animals living in the area.

A Chinese farmer was shocked when he saw the two-headed piglet that was born on his farm in April 2013. The condition of having two heads is known as polycephaly.

In 2016, a piglet with the head of monkey was born in the town of Ciego de Avila in Central Cuba. Sadly, the piglet died just four days after it was born. Some experts say that environmental pollution was the cause of this disturbing mutation.

This three-eyed catfish was caught by a fisherman in the Gowanus Canal in New York City in 2015. The Gowanus Canal is considered one of the most polluted water bodies in the US and it probably was the extreme contamination that caused this mutation.

This pig mutant with human-like face and penis-like growth on its forehead was captured in China. It is believed that environmental pollution caused this terrifying deformity.

This bizarre two-headed bobtail lizard was discovered in Australia. Both of the heads were fully functioning, but they reportedly hated each other; the larger one kept attacking the smaller one.

Duncan the Boxer was born with a severely deformed pelvis and hind legs with no way to correct them. The greatest chance at a good life for him was amputation, which eventually turned out well. Despite having just two legs, Duncan is now a happy and playful dog.
