facts verse presents 10 crazy animals
created by man number 1 featherless
chickens in Israeli geneticists who
created the bear skinned chicken
prototype says that these chickens could
be the future of mass poultry farming in
warm climates not only with these
chickens be able to survive in warm
conditions they would grow faster be
lower in calories and more
environmentally friendly this chicken
was created by crossing a breed with a
naturally bear net with a regular
broiler chicken critics have spoken out
saying that featherless chickens can
suffer from genetic mutations and they
can suffer more than regular chickens
some males cannot mate or flap their
wings both sexes are more susceptible to
mosquito attacks
sunburn and parasites number 2 li mu rat
in China the rich are running out of
exotic pets to spend their money on
therefore the Chinese medical and
scientific research companies are
putting more money into crossbreeding
animals the most successful and
financially rewarding breed so far is
the Li mu rat which is a cross between a
lemur and a cat its scientific name is
pro-law Saphira it has the soft fur and
the coloring of a cat but it has the
striped tail and yellow eyes like a
lemur it is more ferocious than the
typical cat but it is no more dangerous
than a chihuahua number 3 bumbu COO
lizard there was no practical reason for
this hybrid to be made scientists just
wanted to prove that they could do it
they unlocked a dormant flying strand of
DNA in the in Baku lizard which is a
very rare African lizard it is believed
that they lost their ability to fly
millions of years ago there are only six
of these flying lizards and they're kept
separate from their non flying
counterparts this is because scientists
don't want to risk crossbreeding number
four ironical echo the ironical echo is
also known as the spider fern it is a
combination of a plant and an animal it
is actually the cross between an Italian
wolf spider and the paga fern the reason
that this crossbreed was created was so
that scientists could study the survival
rate of spiders if they had built-in
camouflage the study was conducted by
the national selection department at
Massey University in New Zealand the
results of this study have not yet been
published number five Blowfish the
glofish is the first genetically
modified animal that is available for
you to own as a pet
this fish is actually a zebrafish which
has the genetic information from
bioluminescent jellyfish added to its
DNA it was originally created to be a
warning sign of pollution however when a
variety of color was added they were
sold in pet stores in 2003 yorktown
technologies in Austin Texas introduced
the fish to the US market number 6
translucent frog the translucent frog
can be found in Costa Rica and looks
just like Kermit the Frog the underside
of the Frog is completely see-through
allowing you to get a view of its
insides as if you were looking through a
window this frog cannot carry a tune as
well as Kermit the Frog although it does
have a long whistle which resembles that
of an insect number 7 cow that produces
insulin in its milk Argentine scientists
have created four cloned and genetically
modified calves which can produce human
insulin in their milk scientists believe
that these cows can produce large
amounts of insulin at a very low cost to
create these cows scientists inserted
the human insulin producing gene into an
embryo before implanting it in the
surrogate cow number five mutant fish
fishermen on a Caribbean island have
spotted what they believe to be a mutant
fish which they are calling alien fish
the animal has two feet complete with
toes
they don't have fins and they have a
perfect human nose it even has wings
because the fish does not have fins it
uses its feet to walk across the seabed
fishermen actually caught the mutant
fish in the point of Windward which is
on the tiny island of caracal some
people believe that this fish is just a
hoax created by the fisherman
however the fisherman who caught the
animal insists that it is real and they
don't know what it is scientists who
have seen the photos believe that it is
a frog fish which can eat almost
anything that they can fit into their
mouths
number 9 Belgian blue cows this breed of
cow occurs due to a natural mutation
called double muscle this occurs when
the cow lacks the protein that regulates
their muscle growth over the years the
meat industry has been selectively
breeding these animals who show this
mutation so that they can produce bigger
animals which provide more meat because
of their enormous size they often suffer
from a variety of health problems their
pregnancies can be difficult and to
deliver a baby they need a c-section
the calves can have a variety of birth
defects including enlarged tongues which
can make Nursing difficult and in some
cases impossible they can also have bone
and joint problems heart problems
breathing problems and premature death
number 10 parts human part animal this
is one of the craziest animals created
by man scientists in California have
successfully created embryos that are
part human and part Pig the reason for
this is the need to create more organ
donors for those who need it according
to scientists the animal will look like
a typical Pig who will be able to house
human organs specifically the pancreas
scientists so far have only allowed the
embryos to develop for 28 days inside
the female Pig after 28 days they
terminate the pregnancy and study the
tissue the hope is that in the future
these pigs will save millions of human
lives
