Gynandromorphs are extremely rare animals, in which one side is female and one side is male.

In fact, not too long ago, there was a gynandromorph moth found at the Natural History Museum in London.

Gynandromorphs certainly are strange; yet, fascinating. It's interesting to see the combination of both genders within an animal.

That moth provides quite a distinct example of Gynandromorphic animals - dang, those two wings clearly show the difference well.

Here's an interesting blog page with pictures of these types of animals:

Some are quite beautiful though the poor butterfly with one wing being considerably larger than the other. :o

It definitely is! :O

Very strange combination when together, but it's neat to know that such a thing as Gynandromorphs do happen.

Here's a Gynandromorphic Cardinal. I've seen this one a few times where it was a meme saying that it looked like a Pokeball. :P Still pretty neat.

Oh wow! That'd be a sight for sore eyes! That is very beautiful. I believe I read about cardinals being gynandromorphic.

Sure is a cute little cardinal, and you're right about a peppermint like look! :O

Really is strange seeing such creatures - almost like hybrids of sorts!

I know! :O So weird.

Weird how it happens in fruit flies too. Though, it would be hard to see them.
