We’ve seen posted many casese of human deformities (like the Giant Hand post on Neatorama before) – here’s one from the animal world:

    A ship strike and infection are the principal theories to the cause is not what I had in mind…. I was thinking more in the lines of toxic wastes that are dumped in the ocean as well as all the underwater nuclear tests.
