Terrifying video of ‘mutant’ pigeon with huge swollen neck and giant feet after extreme breeding freaks out the internet
A TERRIFYING video of a mutant-looking pigeon with a swollen neck and giant feet has sent shockwaves through the online community.
The ghastly looking creature is believed to be an English Pouter pigeon – with the freaky clip going gangbusters on social media.
The creepy footage showed the bird waddling across a table with its chest puffed out like a juiced bodybuilder.
Its fearsome stature appeared like a bionic robot and was only softened by its majestic feathered feet.
The location of the video was unconfirmed, however, the rare breed of fancy pigeon can be found across Europe and the UK.
Their unusual appearance is reportedly a result of many years of selective breeding.
And the bird’s lineage can be traced back to the rock pigeon.
The bizarre footage has gone viral online and amassed more than 23 million views.
Viewers, however, were left horrified.
“That is the most f***ed up animal I have ever seen,” a Reddit user said.
“It looks like something created by Sid in Toy Story,” one added.
“Damn that is horrifying,” a second commented.
“This is extremely disturbing,” a third remarked.
“Someone is messing with the dark arts again,” another said.
Other viewers felt sorry for the animal.
“This is not nature’s work, this poor thing is waddling around not seeing its own feet,” a viewer claimed.
“So we made this, humans are monsters,” a social media user said.
Mutant looking animals have trended online and left most viewers speechless.
This incredible footage shows a dinosaur-looking goat born in the Middle East.
Another goat born with a “human face” has been worshipped as an “avatar of God” in India.
It has also come to light that “double muscle” pigs and cows are being bred to potentially help ward off beef and pork shortages.
