Embryo removed from 35 Year old man

Igor Namyatov a tractor driver, 35 years old, first started having problems at the age of 15; experiencing pains in his back. Doctors played it down as to him having a fatty tumor.
Twenty years later the pains returned and Igor had an operation to have a presumed tuma removed. Instead his little twin brother (an unborn embryo twin bubby) was removed!

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.Technorati Tags: Star, Nosed, Moles, Fingertips, Hamsters

A Blob Sculpin



On the sea floor of the deep sea (Gorda Escarpment off Northern California) gather creatures called Blob Sculpin. Scientists at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute found an undersea nursery of the guys that rest on their eggs till they hatch. Not a very usual thing for fish to do. There are a group of octopus's near by who do the same. They seem to like the hot spots of the area. The fish themselves are not quite wrong as such, actually quite amazing. But I add all types of wierd and wonderful things.

Naked Mole-Rats
Naked mole-rats have no hair at all. They have large teeth with a skin flap protecting from dirt. When hunger sets in they eat roots underground and tubers. Being smart enough not to eat them all so they grow back the following year. Their teeth help protect them against their large predator the snake. Scissor like actions are used to ward off nasties underground.Naked mole-rats can live in groups up to 100 and they do have a queen. She checks on her burrowing workers and security soldiers (these rats don't work) and she is much bigger and heavier. The workers dig away to create complex burrow systems in hard clay soil. Inside their burrows they easily move forwards and backwards and can even sommersault. The critters are found mainly around central and eastern Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya.
When disturbed or bothered naked mole-rats will honk or squeak. And being naked they only come out in the early morns or evening to protect their wrinkly skin.

Diamanda Galas Concert: Adelaide Town Hall, Sunday night


Last night we bought tickets to see Diamanda Galas at Adelaide Town Hall. It was absolutley amazing. This is the second concert we have been lucky to see and well worth it. Here is a lady who's voice range is four octaves. We were entertained for well over an hour and ten minutes of several severe emotions intertwined into extreme vocals and stunning sounding piano melodies. Quite frightening at times but stunningly peaceful at others. It has taken me ten years to accept she wont summon devils around me when I hear her music, and Im glad I stuck round.Technorati Tags: Diamanda, Galas, concert, Adelaide, Town, Hall

A special breed of cats 'Twisty Kats'



These are specially bred cats. A genetical mutation called radial hypoplasia has occured in these cats, in which some or all of the elbow bone all the way to the wrist is non existent. Leaving the cats with zero front paws or vestigial paws. They must hop like kangaroos.There are groups against this practice although it is not illegal in Texas where these cats are bred.
Perhaps more things in Texas should be banned though - example: making it illegal for residents of Texas to ever become President of The United States Of America!

Lets get back to Mutant creatures, ey?
