Weird and Wonderful Animals

Special animals I've seen these past years... 

A 5 legged cat, pink buffalo and a two beaks- half-beak fish!

This cute Miaow has an extra limb complete with small paws... 

This one's in Sabah's Monsopiad Cultural Village.

Pink baby buffalo in Langkawi. They're quite common. Easily spotted during the rainy season.

Halfbeak with two "halves" of the beak. The reason it is called a Halfbeak is because of the elongated lower jaw, hence, a "half"beak, so a fish with two elongated lower jaw is a double halfbeak.  Do you call it a Singlebeak then?
