Fascination With Malformed Animals

Fascination With Malformed Animals

Humans are often caught up with the unusual, the different, the weird and the unknown. When an Animal is born with a malformation such as two heads, extra legs or a color not normal for its pieces, humans become intrigue to find out more about it. What makes humans so memorized by such freaks of nature? Do you feel it is human lack of preservation for the environment that causes many of these defects?

Animals Malformed Fascination

I know I am guilty of being one of those people! I find things like that fascinating.

I think that because they are different is why they are such a curiosity. I would love to be someone who studied those--"freaks of nature." Instead I am a stay at home mom, so somebody else gets to do it!

A couple years ago up here in Alaska there was a moose calf that was born with two heads. They mentioned in the article they didn't know how often it occurred because most births are not in "public view". We have a high moose population here and our family have watched moose just days old until they leave their mom and I think it was a situation like that, where it was found fairly close to humans. It didn't live very long.

I never really thought about that before but it stands to reason I guess, just as some babies have birth defects sometimes because of the mothers "environment" it could be true.
