Weird Animals

Here are a bunch of pictures of strange animals.

This animal is a crossbreed between a zebra and horse. The father of "Eclyse" is a horse from Italy, where the crossbreed filly was born in 2006, her mother is a zebra from the Safari park.


This rare two-toned lobster was found in Maine. The lobster is a typical mottled green on one side; the other side is a shade of orange that looks cooked. Mount Desert Oceanarium staff members say the odds of finding a half-and-half lobster are 1 in 50 million to 100 million.



In this photo, a hog is shown to have weighed 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.



Here is a picture of a six-legged calf, born a farm bear Litchfield, Neb., April 29, 2007. The calf also has both male and female reproductive organs.


This March 2007 photo, released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, shows a 44-inch, 60-pound female shortraker rockfish, which was caught 2,100 feet below the surface, south of the Pribilof Islands in the Bering Sea.

A New Zealand fisherman kneels next to a giant squid believed to have been caught in Antarctica's Ross Sea. The giant squid, known as a colossal squid (scientific name Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni) and thought to be the largest squid ever found anywhere in the world, weighed an estimated 990 pounds, 330 pounds heavier than the next biggest specimen ever found.
