Debra Broz probably has all the answers to those odd questions you find yourself asking friends when talking about crossbreeding animals.
The talented Austin, Texas-based Debra Broz has a series of sculptures that mixes several creatures into ones. The rightfully named 'The Oddities' series showcases the results of a genetic mix-up if you were to put two of the unlikely animals together. Some of the strangest creatures to come out of Broz's work include a cow with the body of a bird.
You'd probably expect something like this to walk out of Dr. Frankenstein's lab, but the artist manages to make them look quite graceful. Whether you find them strange or attractive, this is an artistic series that will keep you staring.
