Pictures of a few interesting animal specimens. I thought I might as well share.

An albino crow? It's an interesting thought.

Now this is pretty amazing. This is Lonesome George, who is the last Pinta Island Tortoise on earth. There is a $10,000 reward for the person who can find a female, but this species is probably going to end in extinction.

This is a genuine whitetail buck that some lucky hunter got. Obviously he is a very rare color!

Freaky! This dog's genetic defect causes her muscles to grow way bigger than normal.

Could they not try to clone the turtle?

Any idea where the deer was shot? Albino/white deer, and occasionally hermaphroditic deer, are often found near nuclear reactors......oddly enough, radiation counts are WAY higher around coal plants than around nuclear plants

The muscles on the dog are ddue to a genetic defect the dog is a female whippet named Wendy

it's so cool to see a muscular whippet since most of them are all scrawny and tiny!!!! <3

The XY swapping thing probably wont work with reptiles, as I have a feeling they're ZW like birds. Meaning the male has two of the same chromosomes, the reverse of mamals.
