12 Animals With Rare Genetic Mutations That Are Bizarre And Beautiful
In genetics, a chimera is an organism with several distinct sets of cells. This can result in multiple genders, blood types, or fur colors. In Greek mythology, which is where the term comes from, the Chimera is a fire-breathing monster — the terrifying hybrid of a lion, an eagle, a deer, and a serpent.
Luckily for us, that kind of chimera doesn’t exist today. The ones we see most commonly are actually pretty cute.
We’d like to see a version of The Dark Knight with this cutie playing Harvey Dent.
Ah, the infamous zebra-horse-zebra.
Much more beautiful than NBC’s rainbow version, am I right?
