What ever it is, this is a weird looking kitten indeed.Traci Allen says the kitten she named Cy, short for Cyclops, was born the night of Dec. 28 with the single eye and no nose.
Allen said she stayed up all night with the deformed kitten on her recliner, feeding Cy a liquid formula through a syringe. She says she cared for the kitten the next day as well, until it died that evening.
Allen had taken digital pictures that she provided to The Associated Press, but some bloggers have questioned the authenticity of the photo originally distributed on January 6th.
Scientists in Taiwan say they have bred three pigs that glow in the dark.
[SinglePic not found]They claim that while other researchers have bred partly fluorescent pigs, theirs are the only pigs in the world which are green through and through.
The pigs are transgenic, created by adding genetic material from jellyfish into a normal pig embryo.
The researchers hope the pigs will boost the island’s stem cell research, as well as helping with the study of human disease.
Humm… not sure about Glow-In-The-Dark human disease research?
