Clycopia

This is a kitten (from the Ragdoll breed) that was born with just one eye and has no nose. It only lived for one day.
Cyclopia is a birth deformity that fuses the two eyeballs into one large one. It may form below the nose or the nose may not be present. The forebrain never forms into its second hemisphere. The likely result is stillbirth or death within hours. Toxins may cause this or defective genes. The toxins disturb the normal flow of cholesterol in cells. This may halt the signals involving important chemicals e.g. a protein called Sonic Hedgehog (Shh). The toxins can come from plants ie: corn lily. Ewes that eat this plant have a high instance of cyclopia.

Thankyou for the pic Bec :)

Star Nosed Moles

Star nosed moles are the size of hamsters. They have eleven pairs of long receptors that protrude from their nose. These are touch organs that hold 25,000 receptors called Eimer's organs, humans only have 17,000 in their fingertips. They are very sensitive and use the star for sensing whilst tunnelling and defining the right food. The moles brain senses the information picked up from the nose within a twentieth of a millisecond. This helps the mole determine whether the morsel he has found is worthy of eating.
