Sea Creatures That You Should Probably Be Aware Of
bainidhe_dub:
Bull sharks give birth to live young. Can't speak to where the eye should/would be in a cyclops mutation, but their eyes are kinda in line with the nose, and the eyeball looks about right. It seriously looks like a cartoon character though.
pwhodges:
This report gives it some credentials, perhaps, as does Snopes.
Carl-E:
It's a little hard to see, but i believe the other eye didn't develop properly, and that whole area of the skull was atrophied underdeveloped. If you look at the picture, the other eye socket appears as though it should have developed right below the guy's middle finger. It's off center as a result. Weird, but far from mpossible. Only an x-ray would tell for sure, though.
Edit: The snopes article claims x-rays were done and it was a true cyclops mutation. Even weirder! And again, probably wouldn't have survived.
LTK:
Maaaaaaan. That goes completely against everything I learned about hox genes, but I guess I just shouldn't make the mistake of underestimating nature's capacity for freakiness.
