That's cool

Here's a few more additions for you guys and gals. Featherless chickens, two-tongued cats and deformed fish.

I saw a documentary about frogs with multiple limbs. It's actually a parasite. Some kind of flatworm I think. They target snails to complete their natural lifecycle, borrowing into them. Well they can burrow into tadpoles by mistake and actually move limb bud cells in the tadpole which in turn make the frog grow more legs.
