Not the results of a nuclear fall-out, but just some of the eye-catching entries to a popular online image-altering contest on the theme of genetic mutations.
Internet users were given 48 hours to come up with an imaginary creature to illustrate what happens “when nature messes up”.
Among the other striking entries were a circular centipede with no head or tail, a horse with tiny front legs and a cat with four ears.
All the accepted images can be seen on Worth1000.Com, the image-editing contest website which hosted the competition.
The digital alteration of images, know as “photoshopping” after the Adobe Photoshop software on which it is often done, has become a popular online pursuit.
Numerous websites host photoshopped images along certain themes, while others are devoted to identifying photos that have been altered and presented as true.
