What do you get when you cross a Pitt Bull and a porcupine? The dog was sedated, while 1,347 quills were removed, and lived to tell about it. From Wikipedia – Porcupine: * Porcupines are rodents with a coat of sharp spines, or quills that defend them from predators. * The name “porcupine” comes from Middle French porc d’épine “thorny pork”, hence the nickname “quill pig” for the animal. * Contrary to popular belief,...

It’s Monday again, and more thrilled I couldn’t be. But at least I don’t look like this poor guy. Sometimes Mother Nature plays really cruel jokes… The naked mole rat (also known as the desert mole rat or sand puppy) is a native of East Africa, and aside from being one heck of an ugly creature, it is eusocial and has a distinctly odd set of traits that allows it to survive in an underground habitat, including being...

Okay, so this story doesn’t quite fall into the crazy animal story category. It’s more of an endearing tale of two birds in love — two gay flamingos in Slimbridge, England, to be exact. After six years as a couple, the duo has been given the opportunity to be parents to an abandoned baby flamingo. Fernando and Carlos have wanted a baby for so long; they’ve even tried chasing fellow flamingos at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust...

Ok, so I seriously don’t know what’s going on anymore. Is it just me, or are farm animals getting freaky? I found it amusing in the beginning, but now it’s just weirding me out. First there was the calf born with two faces, who sadly died. Then there was the baby chick with four legs. Now there is a cow with six legs, and another one with two noses. Don’t believe me? Picture proof… But the craziness doesn’t...

Stumpy is special. Extra special. Stumpy has webbed feet, which he should seeing how he’s a duck, but Stumpy has FOUR. Because of rare mutation, Stumpy has two nearly full-sized legs behind the two he uses. Duck farmer Nicky Janaway, from New Forest, Hampshire (about 95 miles southwest of London) said, “It was absolutely bizarre. I was thinking ‘he’s got too many legs’ and I kept counting ‘one, two, three, four.’”...

Some sad news to report from the increasingly chaotic and odd world of animals – the calf born with two faces in Virginia, has died. “She was just laying there like she was sound asleep,” said Dairyman Kirk Heldreth. “It broke our hearts.” The unique calf was found on the morning of Friday, February 2nd. Heldreth assumes that Star died from complications due to the deformity. No one really expected the baby cow to survive long...

Garden moles have now joined the animal revolution. It is being reported that a 63-year-old man in Zingst, Germany was killed last Thursday after electrocuting himself on a high-voltage cable meant to rid his garden of moles. But I think that’s just the cover story. I think the man, a retired construction foreman, was indeed trying to install the 380-volt cable and metal ground spikes in order to kill the moles, however, I think the moles...

I am really starting to see a worrisome trend within the animal kingdom recently. Both wild and domestic animals are defying Mother Nature and exhibiting great angst against the human race. I guess it was just a matter of time. One could argue that the more man evolves and progresses and becomes “smarter”, the more the animal kingdom seeks revenge. There are a whole slew of animals that are now extinct because of the human race. Extinct...

Okay, now I’m really freaked out. What the heck is going on in the animal kingdom? First there was the hermaphrodite deer, then the deer with 7 feet. Now, out of Virginia comes a calf born with two faces. You heard me. Two faces. Born on Dec. 27 at Heldreth Dairy Farm, word was spread quickly and crowds have begun to gather. The calf is normal in all other aspects, except for its very unusual head. It had two tongues, which move independently,...
