Humans on Display at the Zoo - Neatorama

The zoo of Warsaw, Poland, has a pair of prehistoric humans (or actors depicting them) on display over the weekend:

Organiser Maria Mastalerz says the weeklong "performance" aims to attract interest in a play, "Caveman," showing in the Polish capital. But she says it also carries a message that humans today are not all that different from their prehistoric ancestors.

Dressed in furs and animal skins, the young woman and man smoked a fish over a fire Friday, poking it with a stick, or stared from behind bars at startled zoo visitors.

Aww, it's not nice to call the other boring bunnies mundane!

Yeah, those don't look like mutated ears, they just look like he got a bit mangled. Poor bun-bun, he's such a survivor!

No, they are pretty typical to dual ears. You can see very similar mutations in cats. The ears here appear to be flaps only, without ear canals.

I see the ears but they look as if someone took a weedwhacker to them.

Yeah, looks more like a weedwhacker attacked them, not double ears.

Don't drink the water in North Bakersfield...it may be toxic.

I think his ears are more shredded than multiple. Look at all the notches on his right ear. We had lots of rabbits like that on the Navy base where I used to live, and I attributed the torn up ears to near-misses from ospreys and other predatory birds. Their talons grabbed the rabbits by the ears, but they managed to wriggle free before they could be carried off. Several neighborhood housecats were not so lucky.

The picture itself is misleading. However, if you watch the video you can CLEARLY see two sets of pinnae. This is a somewhat common mutation. This is NOT a mutilated animal. WATCH THE CNN VIDEO.

Replaced image with one that better illustrates the dual lobes.
