Some features, like eye color, hair color, height, and more, vary from individual to individual, whereas other anatomical features are thought to be identical in everyone. For example, the great majority have eyes of the same color and ten toes, right? Well, yes, but it turns out that, when it comes to bodies, diversity is endless. As time progresses, we learn to celebrate our differences, even those rare and unique ones that make us stand out from the crowd. And what is true for humans, applies to animals as well!
The animals in the photo collection below all have their own distinguishing features that set them apart. From a kitten with two extra toes to a polka-dotted zebra, these anatomical quirks make these animals all the more adorable and unique.
