Rescue Puppy With Tail Growing Out of Forehead Goes Viral

Rescue Puppy With Tail Growing Out of Forehead Goes Viral
Spread The Viralist



This is Narwhal, a rescue puppy that has a tail-like appendage growing from his forehead.
Narwhal was rescued in early November, and sent to Mac’s Mission in Jackson, Missouri, which specializes in fostering animals with special needs.
Mac’s Mission founder Rochelle Steffen says Narwhal does not notice the second tail and is otherwise a happy, healthy puppy.
Since the puppy’s pictures hit social media, Mac’s Mission has been flooded with adoption requests. However, Narwhal will stay at the mission so his caretakers can be sure the tail does not grow out of proportion to his face and cause problems. (AP)

  1. I believe that the puppy has that tail because when the puppy was in the womb of its mother, her cells went through an incomplete process of mitosis. She was going to be a twin, but ended up absorbing her twin- incompletely- leaving the rest of the twins tail in her forehead. This happens to people too, but these cases are very rare. (Correct me if I'm wrong, I was just going off of what I remember from bio class)

  2. こういう、産まれる前に、双子の片割れが吸収されちゃった。
    みたいな時には、
    ピノコ?
    というのが、日本人ジョーク。

    というのは置いといて、
    元気で良かったです!
