Take a horse as an example. Did you know that there are horses with a curly mane? Keep reading to find out about more fascinating cases.
It looks like Photoshop!
Not all weird animal hybrids are photoshopped. Meet Eclyse, the bizarre zebra-horse hybrid.
byu/yaitz331 inHybridAnimals
The photo caption says: “Eclyse was born from a female Chapman’s Zebra and a male horse. She was not deliberately bred – Her mother, Eclipse, was visiting a ranch in Italy when she hooked up with a male horse named Ulysses. The coloring is abnormal for zebra-horse hybrids but is completely natural.” Well, love resulted in a beautiful Eclyse, and that’s all that matters.
Look how big that fellow is!
This giant grasshopper that visited our window door this morning
byu/kirejam inmildlyinteresting
Yes, it’s a grasshopper, but it’s not your ordinary green one. Take a look at how well he had camouflaged himself on the tree. The size is a bit scary. You can almost learn the entire grasshopper anatomy just by looking at him.
A moth from Venezuela
This moth my uncle found in Venezuela
byu/Yeanicenw inmildlyinteresting
The photo description says that a man found it in Venezuela, and it might look like a gremlin, but it’s actually Majora’s Moth. What a peculiar shape?!
Do you know what this might be?
I found this thing many years ago. I have no idea what this thing is … looks like a fish. (this photo was taken with a very old Nokia)
byu/Billy_Shears_9 inmildlyinteresting
A man posted a photo of an animal he found, and the internet quickly assumed that it’s a dead, dried-up ray. Well, we don’t know. It looks like a leaf or some kind of fish. Maybe if the photo were of better quality, it would be a bit easier to distinguish.
A beautiful birthmark!
My calf has a perfect shaped heart on it’s head.
byu/gill__gill inmildlyinteresting
Take a look at that incredible heart-shaped birthmark on the cow’s forehead. Not only does this cow give her milk, but she also gives all her love to you. Cutie!
Blondie squirrel!
A blonde squirrel on my old mail route…
byu/hoobgooblin inmildlyinteresting
Is it just our imagination, or the little nutcracker looks lost in that garden? Whatever the case is, we’re glad that the squirrel kept still, and the person could take such a good photo. Just check out that beautiful color!
It’s the eyes, chico!
People always tell me my cat has the most beautiful eyes
byu/myhightide inaww
We think this adorable white cat would be beautiful nevertheless, but there’s something incredible about those precious eyes. Take a good look at all the colors in them. They’re like beautiful windows into the essence of the whole universe.
The blobfish, enough said!
Blobfish is a bit ugly, and we have to admit that. It’s also amusing how looking from this angle seems like a face with a huge nose and a lot of saliva coming from its mouth. Weirdly, it even reminds us of Ditto from Pokémon.
A cat with four ears, two of them look like devil horns!
Such a photo title would be enough for us to feel intrigued to see the cat. It’s a black cat (what a surprise), and it looks like a little devil. Luckily, the vet said that its hearing and behavior are as expected. The kitten was born with two extra ears. Wow!
A Rottweiler with vitiligo!
This Rottweiler with vitiligo is gorgeous
byu/fireysaje inpics
Those sad eyes are heartbreaking. We think this incredible boy is gorgeous just the way he is. It’s funny how the doggo looks like he fell in a pool of ashes or something like that.
A tail with a cat!
My friend’s cat has a comically long tail
byu/captainwalnut inmildlyinteresting
This black cat has got such a long tail that it didn’t even fit the image. We wonder if it comes with some benefits?! Maybe the whisker has got some superpowers we’re not even aware of!
Threat Threads!
You’re looking at snakes so tiny that they can wrap around a pencil. Don’t be naïve, though! They are just as dangerous as their, much bigger, cousins. They could easily cause enough damage for you to lose a finger.
A lovely little tiger!
The cat in the photo is Bengal. They are known to be very smart and to love adventures. Those beautiful spots are marvelous.
A goat tattoo on a goat!
This goat has a goat on its goat fur… goat.
byu/KeyzerSoze85 inmildlyinteresting
Imagine if these two goats were a couple. The back goat has probably gotten a tattoo of the white goat to prove its love. How romantic?!
Joker dog!
Oscar’s unique fur makes it look like he’s always smiling! :)
by inaww
His name is Oscar, and the adorable doggy looks like he’s always smiling. The black color under his snout is even more visible because the dog is white. Keep smiling, little one. We’re glad you’re so optimistic!
A cupid dog!
This dalmatian has heart shaped spots on his eyes
byu/BookerDeWittsCarbine inaww
Here we have another dog whose distinctive marks on the face make him unique and beautiful. The heart-shaped black patches around this Dalmatian’s eyes are incredibly romantic. It seems like a heart-shaped birthmark is not unusual in the animal kingdom.
The Lorax doggo!
I’m pretty sure my neighbor’s dog is the lorax.
byu/kallisto_ inWhatsWrongWithYourDog
Look at that silky, long beard. It gives the dog a specific look of wisdom, don’t you think? He doesn’t seem to be in a good mood, though. We would love to pet him anyway.
Call me dog-looking cobra!
This giant spitting cobra has been domesticated to become a pet
byu/TheYoungWolf inShittyAnimalFacts
The dog has some unusual neck flaps that can stretch, and they make him look like a cobra. He’s beautiful anyway, and it’s a good thing that the stretching doesn’t hurt him at all. Look at that kind face. What a baby?!
The dog with a huge, split nose!
This dog with a split nose
byu/Saskuatchewan inmildlyinteresting
We wouldn’t say that this dog’s peculiar nose shape makes his sense of smell any stronger. He looks like he’s about to sniff you from head to toe if you approach him.
A long-legged kitty supermodel!
This cat at my local rescue shelter has ridiculously long legs
byu/McPokie infunny
Long legs are a trend, and the cat is a fashionista. This beautiful kitten with long legs is stuck at the rescue shelter, but she indeed belongs on runways.
