Inherited traits are passed down through an animal's genetic code which is found in the animal's DNA—a long molecule that is present in every cell in the body. The DNA contains thousands of genes. A gene is a specific DNA sequence that leads to the expression of an inherited characteristic. For example, there are genes that determine eye color, coat color, and other body characteristics.

And while we're used to, for example, cats with 18 toes and puppies with 2 ears, sometimes an animal's genes decide to play a trick on us, and it comes to this world with more (or less!) of these features. Continue scrolling and take a look at this Bored Panda list, compiled to show you what genetic surprises some of our beloved creatures possess!

Maybe its just a way to make up for the lack of 1 eye, 2 extra ears!

One of the most frequent congenital physical anomalies we see in this list is polydactylism, which causes animals to be born with more than the usual number of toes on one or more of their paws.

Interestingly, the condition seems to be especially common in cats along the East Coast of North America (in the United States and Canada and in South West England, Wales, and Kingston-upon-Hull.

Polydactyl cats have been extremely popular as ship's cats as well. Even though there is some controversy over the question of whether the most common variant of the trait originated as a mutation in New England or was brought there from Britain, there seems to be agreement that it spread widely as a result of cats carried on ships originating in Boston, Massachusetts, and the prevalence of polydactyly among the cat population of various ports correlates with the dates when they first established trade with Boston.

Cat Named Yoda Was Born With An Extra Set Of Ears

Cat Named Yoda Was Born With An Extra Set Of Ears

Sailors have been known to value polydactyl cats especially for their extraordinary climbing and hunting abilities as an aid in controlling shipboard rodents. Some even thought they bring good luck at sea. The rarity of polydactyl cats in Europe might be explained by the fact that they were hunted and killed due to superstitions about witchcraft.

The legendary Nobel Prize-winning author Ernest Hemingway was an aficionado of polydactyl cats too. His love for these animals began after one ship captain gave him a six-toed cat he named Snow White.

Upon Hemingway's death in 1961, his former home in Key West, Florida became a museum and a home for his cats, and at one point it housed approximately fifty descendants of his cats (about half of which were polydactyl). Because of his immense love for these animals, polydactyl cats are sometimes referred to as "Hemingway cats".

"The things that make me different are the things that make me," one very special animal said. And the animals in these pics are very special too.

I Adopted A Stray Dog With 2 Mouths, One Where The Ear Should Be

I Adopted A Stray Dog With 2 Mouths, One Where The Ear Should Be

Toad is about 6 years old, she found her way to the shelter that I worked at several years ago. The whole staff was kind of in shock at her appearance. She was also highly aggressive when she came in. A shelter officer muzzled her and carried her to the vet clinic and while she was there being examined, it sounds goofy but literally, we made eye contact and she immediately relaxed.

That day I took her into my office to evaluate her and she immediately crawled into my lap. This big scary, insane-looking dog, just climbed into my lap and rested her head on my shoulder. I adopted her and we have been inseparable ever since.

When you say it "functions as a thumb" what exactly are we talking about here? Can the kitten pick things up with one paw? Hold a pen? Hitch a lift? How is it with child-proof safety caps? To what extent do we need to start worrying about highly dexterous cats taking over the world?

Does he have big lower teeth? Mine had that and he has pierced his lips several times (somehow through both upper and lower lip, like he stiched his own mouth shut we couldn't figure out what was what. The doctor was baffled) He never pulled a face like this though. But looks like underbite you see in dogs.

Found This Little Polydactyl Kitten On My Porch The Other Night

Vet thinks he's 6-7 weeks old. After around 4 baths and many brushes we think he is now flea free and can joint the rest of the crew. Every meet Hemi (after Ernest Hemingway).
