Animal Oddity - Photo of Two-nose Calf

A cow in Wisconsin was born with two noses. Owner Mark Krombholz didn't notice until he fed her a bottle of milk. "It's a functioning nose because the middle of her second nose, the flap would go in and out when she drank out of the bottle like that," said Krombholz. "It was kind of funny. It caught my eye right away, so I kind of laughed at that." Lucy, born May 4, 2007, will be a pet and breed if she's able, according to Krombholz. (ABC News)

Animal Oddity - Photo of Giant Hogzilla

In this photo released by Melynne Stone, Jamison Stone, 11, poses with a wild pig he killed near Delta, Ala., May 3, 2007. Stone's father said the hog weighed a staggering 1,051 pounds and measured 9 feet 4 inches from the tip of its snout to the base of its tail. If claims of the animal's size are true, it would be larger than Hogzilla, the huge hog killed in Georgia in 2004.

Monkey-faced Piglet - Photo

While all the other little piggies will be going to market, this freak little piggy from China will stay at home – for fear that nobody will buy a walking bacon sandwich with the face of a monkey. Curious locals flocked to the home of owner Feng Changlin after news of the piglet spread in Fengzhang village, Xiping township. “It’s hideous. No one will be willing to buy it, and it scares the family to even look at it!” Feng told Oriental Today.

He says the piglet looks just like a monkey, with two thin lips, a small nose and two big eyes. Its rear legs are also much longer than its forelegs, causing it to jump instead of walk. Feng’s wife said the monkey-faced piglet was one of five newborns of a sow which the family had raised for nine years.

“My God, it was so scary. I didn’t known what it was. I was really frightened,” she said. “But our son likes to play with it, and he stopped us from getting rid of it. He even feeds it milk.” Neighbours have suggested the couple keep the piglet to see how it looks as it matures

Animal Oddity - Photo of Two-headed Calf

Blinky the cow was born with two heads. Although the calf is clearly special, unfortunately, the life span of two-headed cows is not very long, which does not bode well for Blinky, who can't stand or sit on her own. Greg Hamstra, owner of Hamstra's Dairy in Tulare, Calif., where the calf was born, said, "We call her Blinky because all four eyes blink at the same time." (ABC News)
