Whilst googling, and as usual getting sidetracked miles away from what I was originally looking for, I found the following site.

I didn't know whether to put it in the Cats thread or start a new thread. Mods merge if you think appropriate.

What suprises me is that African and Asian cats can still cross with South American cats?,as they've been seperated by millions of years?.

My cat sends her thanks....she now realises that she really isn't fat at all - in fact she's quite slim when compared with some of those porkers!!!

A six-legged frog has been found at a restaurant in China.

Six legged frog found in China /Lu Feng

According to Information Daily, the frog was bought by the restaurant from a market in Guangzhou city, Guangdong province.

The frog looks the same as others in the restaurant's tanks, except for two extra legs under its jaw.

Professors at the Pharmacy College, Jinan University, say gene mutation, chemical pollution or radiation could be responsible.

Here's a story about the lion version of a bearded lady ...

Female lion with a mane has died at Oklahoma City Zoo
The Oklahoma City Zoo says an 18-year-old African lioness that mysteriously sprouted a mane last year has died.

The zoo says the lioness, named Bridget, was euthanized Wednesday after a veterinary team determined she was likely suffering from heart failure or infection. The zoo says Bridget had been lethargic, not eating and appeared to be in pain.

Last month, the zoo said Bridget appeared to be in good health after lab results explained why she had grown a mane, which is usually only seen on male lions.

The testing found that Bridget had an elevated level of androstenedione, a hormone that can contribute to developing male features. The zoo says that suggested a benign tumor in an adrenal gland may have been the cause.

We once had a rabbit baby born with back legs at the front and front legs at the back

I wondered, after over 30 yrs whether my memory had invented the details but apparently my family verify it.
As far as I know it didn’t live for very long after.
I can recall watching it as it stumbled through the flower border in the garden.
