The misshapen, malformed, and malignant

Filed under: Pics, Bovids, Anatomy

Here are a few pics from my trip that I’ve finally gotten around to uploading.

Firstly, and crucially, the proto-three-horned greater kudu specimen, mounted on a wall for posterity. Yep, that little nodule in the place of a 3rd eye is really a 3rd horn. Super-cool. And relevant for the post on making unicorns.  

Next, in the "Ew! Gross!" Category we have the misshapen, malformed, and malignant:

A gemsbok with a growth on its horn
Some antelope hoof with a HUGE osteosarcoma-like explosion of a growth on the leg
Curling iron gone awry: A gemsbok with one horn up, one curled in
The wall o’ wacky things smaller than a head
A little to the right… a little farther… a little farther
It’s all fun and games till someone gets their eye poked out
