16 Unique People and Animals That Were Born to Stand Out From the Crowd

During pregnancy, a baby’s fingernail beds form 12 weeks after conception, and the nails start to grow the following week. There’s a lot of magic happening in the womb, and sometimes people and animals alike are blessed with a rare feature. Being out and proud of the thing that makes you different is something we consider a superpower.

Bright Side believes every single one of us is unique in our own way and we found some features that are worthy of a celebration. We’re curious which ones you’re seeing for the very first time.

1. “My girlfriend was born without a nail.”

2. This kitten has 2 toes on one paw.

3. “My friend’s pretty horse has heterochromia (2 different colored eyes).”

4. “My customer described her as a leucistic bison. It’s a condition that results in less pigmentation than normal.”

5. “My knuckles of my ring fingers are unnaturally large.”

6. “My kitten has hearts on her ears.”

7. “I have a defective pupil.”

8. “I was born with extremely crooked thumbs.”

9. “My mom’s cat was born with no tail.”

10. “This swan was born with a deformed bill.”

11. “My fingers are double-jointed.”

12. “I have a pear-shaped pupil!”

13. “Just discovered my 4-week old foster kitten has heterochromia. Only one of his eyes is changing color.”

14. “I’ve known people with vitiligo before, but I’ve never seen such a symmetrical pattern!”

15. “My teacher only has 3 fingers on his left hand and took advantage of it when he went to a museum.”

16. “Today I’ve learned babies can be born with highlights. Congrats, Mom and Dad!”

“Her mom had some tips, but way less, and it faded away after 2-3 days. No sign of fading so far (day 4) but it will probably happen. All the nurses at the pediatric hospital we’re at are in awe of her hair!”

If you could choose any physical “superpower,” what would you choose to have and why?
