Attack of the Mutant Animals!

No it's not a 1950s communist-fearing sci-fi film, I'm talking about the sudden abundance of freakishly mutated animals. Added today (here's a link)to the quickly increasing list of mutant pests was this five legged frog which a dog walker spotted. Along with the two headed cow and the 12 fingered/toed child are we seeing a rise in mutants? Could this be the start of a mutant animal outbreak? Hopefully.

This strange occurrence is nothing new however and freaky animals have been recorded before records began (yes, that makes no sense.) So, ladies and gentlemen, here is a list of the best and most famous freaky mutated animals. I present to you the Circus of the Freaky Mutated Creatures...

Oh and NONE of these are photo-shopped in any way. They're the real deal.


1) The Winged Cat - and not just one odd feline either. There's been well over 20 off these creatures. Very strange. How the hell does this happen! Must be something to do with the genes. Unless of course they're parents were naughty pussies.Check out the Wikipedia page for a whole list of them!

2) The Featherless Chicken - Not all mutations are natural or the product of a freak accident. Some are purposefully altered such as the Featherless Chicken which was breed not to just look ugly, but to make it easier to prepare for eating.
Think about it - how macabre could you get.

3) Two Headed Turtle- Born in a Pennsylvanian Aquarium, this little turtle was born with two heads at either end of it's shell, yet only had one pair of back feet and one tail. Teenage Mutant Ninja Conjoined Twin Turtles!

4) Two Faced Star - No, I'm not talking about celebrities! This is a genuine cow with two faces on one head.  Born in Virginia  has THREE sets of teeth and two tongues. Most freaky of all though is that the cow has only one eye socket in the middle of it's head...with two eyes in!

Real zombie animals

Roll up, roll up for the first ever (non-introductory) post on the Circus of the Freaky blog. And what a way to kick it all off.

Whether or not you're prepared for the inevitable zombie apocalypse (if you're not prepared, well, good luck with that), zombies have ripped and torn it's way into pop culture like never before. With what appears to be a never-ending stream of books, games, films, music, clothes, gadgets, gizmo's, and other such zombie themed mumbo jumbo, it's undeniable proof that the zombies have taken over. Don’t get me wrong, the Freak is the biggest zombie fan you’re likely to meat. In fact, I’m currently building an army of those undead flesh-eaters from Hell, but that’s just our little secret. Got it?

So, below are three, apparently, real videos of zombie animals!

Up first we have the re-animated zombie dog's head, along with some very much alive inner organs. It's reportedly footage of a 1956 Soviet experiment by a certain Russian who goes by the name of Sergei S. Bryukhonenko, one of the most prolific characters in regard to open-heart surgery in Russia. What do you think? Real or fake? Is it really alive?




It’s a dog life. But what about cats? Who would like to see a cat running without a brain? Who wouldn’t want to see a cat running without a brain?! Here’s another macabre experiment involving a ‘dead’ moggy seemingly running on a treadmill after it had it’s brains scooped out of its skull. Pretty freaky stuff indeed. But perhaps the biggest worry is whether this proves that uncle Romero was wrong? Would destroying the brain actually (re)kill a zombie?




And finally, this one isn't of the experimental/evil-scientist-with-a-little-too-much-time-on-his-hands video. It is instead a filleted, skinned, headless zombie fish (straight from the local supermarket) flapping around on the counter. Is this one a fake? A sign of the apocalypse? Or a very odd sex toy?
