Animal shelter in Missouri rescued a 10-week-old puppy Narwhal that appears to have a tail pointing out his face. The appendage on his forehead is about a third of the size of his actual tail. Although it looks like a tail after analyzing it through X-rays, it contains only skin. “This feature seems unusual but it essentially a birth defect,” says Dr. Brian Heuring. Narwhal will stay at the shelter for a while before he is ready for adoption as the staff is ensuring he doesn’t develop any problems due to his “extra tail”.
