#20. The Mythical Beast
The term “chimera” has come to describe any mythical or fictional animal with parts taken from various animals, or to describe anything composed of very disparate parts, or perceived as wildly imaginative, implausible, or dazzling.
However, scientists have decided to turn myths into reality and they have created chimeras that look amazing. Not just that, but some chimeras have been naturally born.
#19. The Two-Faced Cat
This cat doesn’t just have eyes of a different color, it has two faces! This is a rare specimen and the amazing thing about it is that it was born naturally.
Science played no part in this. Some might call it a natural miracle.
#18. Chimera Parakeet
If there is one thing that everyone knows about parrots, then it has to be the fact that they all have colorful feathers. However, the one in this picture is a bit more special because it has two distinct colorings on its feathers.
This is not something that you get to see every day.
#17. Beautiful Cat
This is another example of how beautiful cats who have been affected by chimerism can be.
This cat looks so amazing that you might think it’s a character from an anime and that it can speak or do magic.
#16. Chimera Butterfly
Just like the aforementioned parakeet, butterflies are renowned for their beautiful colors.
Although, the one that we are seeing in the picture featured above is a bit more unique than other butterflies. The different colored wings are proof of chimerism!
#15. Chimera Dog
We’ve seen chimera cats and parakeets but now, we have something even more amazing to show you.
This dog is affected by chimerism and as we can clearly see, he looks way different than all other dogs.
#14. Happy Doggy
Here we have another dog that has been affected by chimerism.
The interesting thing about this one is that his fur has distinct colors that make him stand out.
#13. Chimera Horse
What do you get if you combine a horse and a zebra? The answer to that question can be seen in the picture featured above.
This chimera horse looks incredible and there is no doubt about that!
#12. Colorful Bird
While chimerism might look strange on animals such as a dog or a horse, it makes birds look even more majestic than they already are.
This little fella is red on half of its feathers and grey on the other side.
#11. Yellow and Black Dog
From the looks of it, dalmatians are not the only dog breed who can have different color schemes on their bodies.
If there is one thing that we can be sure about, then it has to be the fact that this dog’s owner is never going to lose him in the park. After all, the dog stands out too much.
#10. Two-Faced Lobster
This amazing thing about this lobster is not only the fact that he is a chimera and that it has two colors on his body but the perfect geometric shape of his colors.
It’s like someone painted the colors on him.
#9. Chimera Peacock
Not many people know this but the giant and colorful tails of peacocks are actually used as a defense mechanism.
The tails are helping the peacocks look bigger and this is scaring predators.
#8. Blue and Brown Butterfly
We previously saw a colorful butterfly on picture #16 but now, we have something even better to show you.
This butterfly has two distinct colors on its wings and this the little guy stands out from its peers.
#7. White Patches
The first peacock that we saw had two different colors on its tail. While this one has the same white color on his feathers, the difference is that the white color appears in patches.
The way that color spreads on the body of chimeras is really interesting.
#6. Chimera Bug
The unique thing about this bug is not that it is a chimera with two different colors, but that it has both male and female parts.
This is known as Gynandromorphism, a term that comes from the Greek Greek γυνή (gynē), female, ἀνήρ (anēr), male, and μορφή (morphē), form.
#5. Chimera Chicken
Now, we can be sure that you never expected to see a chimera chicken! The color schemes on this chicken’s body are quite amazing.
Do you think its eggs will hatch chimera chicks?
#4. Chimera Mallard
While this mallard might not feature an amazing color scheme like the other chimeras on our list, there is something that makes it stand out.
The mallard has both male and female markings.
#3. Chimera Goose
Previously we showed you a chimera mallard and now, we have a chimera goose to show you!
The way that you can spot that this goose is a chimera is by looking at the different colors on its feathers and on its neck.
#2. Chimera Horse
The person who purchased this horse noticed right from the start that he has an unusual color scheme and he decided to train him.
The chimera horse is now winning competitions and fairs all across the US.
#1. Blue Lobster
The blue lobster is one of the rarest things that you can catch while fishing in the ocean!
Well, it looks like there is an even rarer version of the lobster and it’s a chimera that has two different colors on its body.
