Science is insane and messing with nature, but you already know that!

These are just very few of the many things that are strange about this world.. not the natural world

The natrual world is perfectly freak enough, but that is apparantly not enough we need to mess with it further!

1) Super speed and mice

Biologists at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland have taken ordinary field mice and genetically modified them by limiting the biochemical process which allows for explosive bursts of energy. The end result of this limitation is that endurance energy becomes massively increased, thus enabling them to "run up to four miles at a speed of 20 meters a minute for five hours or more without stopping."


2) Zombie pigs

English scientists are currently researching ways to remove the genes responsible for stress and aggression from pigs, which are highly intelligent, emotional creatures. The resulting passive, "zombified" animals would be more content in captivity, making them much easier to transport and slaughter.
Scientists in Cambridge also hope to use these new modified pigs for longer periods of research, with the ultimate goal of introducing human genetic material into pig embryos in an attempt to cultivate safe, healthy human compatible organs that could be used for medical studies, transplants.


3) Spider and goat fusion

Nexia biotechnologies, a Canada-based research team, have successfully spliced together the genes of the common goat with those of two different species of orb-weaving spiders. This has resulted in two living, healthy, male spider/goat hybrids named Webster and Peter.
Though the two male goats were the result of a long process of experimental trial and error, their genetic makeup is now stable and the scientists expect to introduce them to a female herd in the near future, where the new spider genes will carry onto the following generations naturally. Potential uses for these new hybrid goats are farming, research, or simply pairing up with a half-snake, half-lamb to form the world's most terrifying petting zoo.


4) Jellyfish and monkey!?

At the Oregon Regional Primate Research Center in November of the year 2000. Scientists modified a harmless virus with jellyfish genes and introduced it into the embryos of Rhesus monkeys.

For the love of god, why are they doing this?
The researchers hoped to make the monkey glow.


5) COWS AND PEOPLE FUSION!?

Researchers in the Netherlands have successfully spliced together bovine and human genes. The result is a new animal comprised almost entirely of peaceful, harmless cow with just a horrifying smidge of man thrown in for good measure.
Pharming Group, the biotech lab responsible for the new animals, is currently in talks with the FDA seeking approval for agricultural use in the United States.
