Pull my finger!

True, but here's the odd spot: the goat has an oddly-domed head. :P as soon as I fix the pic I'll fix it up

Doubt it, the coloring would probably be absorbed over time.


Here's a victim of inbreeding, meet the Budapest Short Face Tumbler pigeon. I'm sure inbreeding has made these poor guys' eyes abnormally large.

This is gross and should not exist. It's just sad.

I know right? I don't know why they're inbreeding the poor birds.



Here's a Damascus goat, the underbite and cropped ears of this specimen concerns me.

Agreed, it wouldn't be so bad, if it just had a small shorten head, but those huge eyes are freaky. I prefer the telescope/blackmoor goldfish to that pigeon anyday.

Another weird bird is the Capuchinbird, it not only looks odd, but sounds odd, maybe thats why they are also known as the calfbird.

In case of those Damascus goats, I doubt it has many negative consequences, since they are bred for their meat and milk, not for a curious head shape. In other words, natural selection still played a major role because goats with mental or physical handicaps, have fewer chances to survive until adulthood and to breed. Human selection might have played a role as well, though not nearly as much as in those pigeons or goldfishes.

Land planarias are such gorgeous animals. I don't understand why the girls at my school are so afraid of them.

I used to have a couple of those guys as pets. They're pretty cute (and they're living fossils as well). :P

Don't those snakes sometimes get split in half because the two different brains want to go in two different directions? :P

Don't know about that, but they attack each other while they are eating. They fight for the food.
