Anencephaly


I came up with an idea today. What if I came up with an idea for a mutation? And what if said mutation was anencephaly?

1. What the heck is "anencephaly?"

Anencephaly is a rare yet lethal birth defect usually caused by a neural tube defect that usually between 23-26 days after conception. It causes the baby to have the appearance of a smashed-in skull, and that is because of underdevelopment of the brain.

2. Is it lethal or not?

Human babies with this defect usually live for about a few hours after birth, possibly even days (there are some exceptions to this, such as a little boy named Jaxon: click here . ) So, for lions on this website, the cub would likely last about until the rollover after birth. It would die if you didn't freeze it.

3. What does it look like?

Below I'm going to post some images of what babies with anencephaly look like. If that kind of stuff makes you squeamish, I suggest you scroll past this. I'm going to try and make the images pretty small, but sorry in advance.

Support. This can happen in cats, too [pretty easy to google to find a pic of a kitten born with it, GRAPHIC of course], so a lion would be not much of a stretch. Obviously, a wild lion would not survive the condition so it would be a lethal mut.

Support :O

(also for those who find the images somewhat triggering or disturbing, could you add in a spoiler tag? They did freak me out somewhat)
