- (giggles) Let's get to the weirdness.
Hey, how wants to talk about some weird stuff, huh?
If you've ever heard of Ripley's Believe It Or Not,
or even just been to a circus,
you know that this world is full of freak shows,
but although the things like the three-eyed fish
from The Simpsons are jokes, there are examples
of mutated animals that exist on this earth right now
that are going to completely freak you out
because they're real.
(quacks)
Here are 10 crazy mutated animals that actually exist.
Number 10 is the two-faced pig.
Hey, (snorts) hey. (snorts)
When you hear the words two-faced pig,
it probably reminds you of the biggest liar
you've ever met, but in the animal kingdom,
it's a very real label.
On September 5th 2017, a piglet was born
in the village of Wangcha in the Shaanxi province in China
that stunned the farmers who delivered it.
Born among a litter of several other piglets
that seemed perfectly healthy, this little piggy
had two heads, three eyes, and two noses.
It's believed that the mutation is the result
of a split embryo that would have resulted in twins,
except they didn't separate completely.
China is known for its high pollution rates,
and many of the craziest mutations occur within
the country's borders, a fact that made this
animal's existence not as big of a surprise
as it probably should have been.
Number nine is a four-legged duck.
On February 7th, 2007, several ducklings were born
at the Warrawee Duck Farm in New Forest, Hampshire, England,
but one of them stood out from the crowd.
It was 43-year-old Nicky Jannoway, a duck farmer
at Warrawee who first introduced Stumpy the duckling
to the world eight weeks later.
Though otherwise healthy, Stumpy was born
with an extra pair of legs directly behind
the pair that he used as normal ones.
(quacks) I can stand like this (quacks) or like this.
Okay, well they didn't actually function
and they were actually deformed,
earning him his name, but due to their position and shape,
Stumpy was confined to his own pen.
That was, until April 2007, when an accident
caused him to lose one of the extra legs.
From then on, Stumpy was free to run around the farm
and even got himself a girlfriend named Alice.
To be clear, Alice was another duck, not a human,
because that would just be another list altogether.
Number eight is the cyclops shark.
(hums) I'm comin' for ya!
If you spot a wild shark in the water near where
you're swimming, it's most definitely terrifying,
but if that fish only had one eye,
a genuine cyclops shark, would that make it
more or less terrifying?
There's just so many questions.
Well to date, nobody's been able to say for sure,
but a handful of people can tell you what it's like
to see one outside of the ocean.
In early 2011, Enrique Lucero Leon
caught a dusky shark near Mexico.
Upon cutting into the animal, he discovered 10 embryos,
one of which was a 56-centimeter-long one-eyed male.
The astonishing discovery was confirmed by experts
at the Center of Marine Sciences in La Paz, Mexico.
Unfortunately, due to the fact that no cyclops sharks
have ever been captured or recorded outside of a womb,
it's a popular theory that they
don't survive long in the wild.
So if you ever find one, capture it for science,
or it'll capture you, it's about 50/50.
Number seven is a bunny with no ears.
In late 2008, a bunny was brought into the world
without a pair of essential hearing organs
and as it turns out, without ears,
rabbits just look like gerbils.
Three weeks after his pet bunny Rosie gave birth
on his family's North Yorkshire, England property,
16-year-old farming student and rabbit breeder
John Hegg watched her escort her 10 new babies
out of their hutch, only to find
that one of them had no ears.
He decided to name him Vincent after Vincent Van Gogh,
the famous painter who removed his own ear.
Yes, I love this painting.
In fact, I don't care what people have to say about it.
Although it's extremely rare, bunnies have been known
to be born without ears.
In March of 2012, a similar rabbit was born
in Saxony, Germany, but before it could get
the media attention it deserved, it was accidentally killed
by a cameraman who didn't watch were he was going.
That's like someone going into a museum and being like
"oh, that's lovely, (smashing)
"oh, I just broke this priceless artifact, sorry."
Number six is the octogoat.
(imitates goat)
In early May of 2014, Zoran Paparic's goat, Sarka,
gave birth to triplets for the fourth time
on his Croatian farm.
Though the first two babies seemed relatively normal,
the third possessed shocking deformities
that stunned the farmer and soon the masses on social media.
The baby goat was born with eight legs,
a feature that granted it the nickname Octogoat.
Through it had more than enough limbs,
the animal wasn't strong enough to stand on its own
with any number of them.
In addition to the extra full set of legs,
the goat was also born with
male and female reproductive organs.
Local veterinarians concluded that the mutation
was likely due to an underdeveloped twin sibling,
but Paparic is happy simply calling the Octogoat
the miracle of nature.
Look, have you ever seen a goat in person?
They're terrifying, let alone one with eight legs.
It's the spawn of Satan. (dramatic music)
Number five is the unicorn cow.
(moos) Sup?
A video captured on a mobile phone and uploaded
to the internet by a farmer in Uzbekistan
drew mixed reactions from commenters in early 2016.
In the clip, a farmer, a few other men and a child
are standing around in awe of a dairy cow
that has two normal horns on either side
of its large head, and one third larger horn.
The group also pulls on the additional horn
to show that it's not a hoax.
Social media quickly labeled the creature the unicow,
and while some praised the animal's unique beauty,
others warned that she may be a sign
of how badly pollution is affecting the environment.
But of course, this animal has been improperly named.
Um, unicorns have one horn and this cow has three, 'kay?
Really the more accurate and subtle name
should be the Trihorn Cow. (moos)
Number four is a snake with a foot.
Oh yeah, these are just getting weirder.
In mid-September of 2009, 66-year-old Dean Qiongxiu
was in her bedroom in southwest China
when, upon turning on the light, she discovered
a monster making its way along her wall.
The creature was a 41-centimeter-long snake,
but what made it a truly bizarre sight
was that the reptile was using a claw
that had grown out of its side to grip the wall.
Hey, hey, I'm a creepy snake.
Oh, what's that, an extra leg?
Terrified, she grabbed a shoe, beat the snake to death
with it, and put it in a jar of alcohol to preserve it.
This mutation is incredibly rare,
as normally when a mutated snake is found,
its grown an extra head or has an odd bump on it,
but a functioning claw is pretty much unheard of.
Interestingly, all snakes actually have the DNA
required to grow limbs, but simply never,
or rather rarely do.
This creature was literally priceless
and she was like (yells).
Number three is a dolphin with legs.
Hey, you got some smelt? (imitates dolphin)
On October 28th, 2006, fishermen off the southern coast
of Japan caught something that caused quite an argument
between creationists and evolutionary theorists.
This is because it appeared to reveal
that certain aquatic creatures may have once walked on land.
The creature that the fishermen captured
was a bottle nosed dolphin that had four fins
instead of the usual two.
The extra limbs appeared to be hind legs,
and some experts have concluded that this could actually
be evidence that some ancient ancestors of marine mammals
may have actually dwelled on land
and adapted to the ocean's depths for food or climate needs.
Now, some claim that the mutation is due to pollution,
but others are quick to point out
that the fins are symmetrical.
What do you know about the dolphin?
Do you know him, does he call you at home?
Do you have a dorsal fin?
Number two are cats with wings.
If you thought cats knocked over a lot of stuff before.
If you've ever wished that your feline friend
could soar through the clouds like a Nyan Cat,
then you might actually be in luck.
In Sichuan, a province in China,
a series of severely warm days in 2008 led to
some cats having lumps form on their backs.
Over a short time, those lumps developed
into wing-like growths,
complete with a skeletal structure to form them.
Scientists have no idea why this happened,
although some believe it could be the result
of genetic defects or inherited skin conditions.
So the wings are obviously non-functioning,
but they do look really cool.
And number one are transparent frogs.
Discovered in waters in a small mining town in Russia,
these amphibians have black eyes and skin
that appears to be completely translucent.
The mutation in these frogs allows you to see
their bones, veins, and organs.
You can even see their hearts beating
as it circulates blood.
Dr. Vladimir Vershinin, a scientist and Head of Zoology
at the Ural Federal District University's
Institute of Natural Sciences has determined
that the cause of the transparency mutation is
environmental pollution from mining operations in the area.
I think they should export these all over the world
because all those savages in high school,
they used to cut open the little froggies
to see what is inside.
You don't have to do that anymore, it's less savage.
