Whether they’re beloved pets, barnyard animals, or just some random creature someone saw one day, there are some very unique furry friends out there.
Here is a curated, but by no means complete, list of one-of-a-kind animal markings we’ve found on the net.
We know you’ll love them!
1. Holy cow
Okay, it isn’t holy. But this cow is a beauty to begin with. Add that number 7 emblazoned across its forehead, and it’s a prize cow.
2. This is Simon
Simon is looking very colorful here, but that’s not what makes him special. Look at those brows! He looks so inquisitive.
3. LOL
Doesn’t this cat look like the perfect emoji? Something to use for a OMG or shocked face? So cute.
4. Interesting
I wonder if this turtle loves its owner. Because look at the I Heart You marking it has.
5. Well…
I think you’re going see what you’re going to see. Some say they see an angel with its wings spread. Some people minds seem to be a bit less pure, however.
6. Charlie?
Yes, a startling resemblance to Charlie Chaplin. Or at least his mustache. Or the Batman sign. Could be either.
7. What a beauty
Such gorgeous colors! I’m not much of a cat person, but I could call this cat my own. Then, of course, there is that heart.
8. Weiner dog
Well, this is a bit unfortunate. I hope the owner has a very good sense of humor. And that they didn’t name the dog Dick.
9. Batman?
Seriously, if this were my dog, I would call it Batman. I mean it carries the bat signal, so what else?
10. Huh?
Or maybe who, what, when, where, or why. Because that is definitely a question mark.
11. Number 2
Well, there are several things we might think of when we say number 2. Let’s move past the obvious and consider that this poor creature must always come in second.
12. Luna
This is Luna, and like all cats she likes milk. And just look at that milk mustache.
13. Scary!
Once you pull your eyes away from those giant claws, look at that mark. Leopard print bowtie? A bat? What do you think?
14. Hard rock
This turtle clearly indicates his taste in music. I wonder if his owners play it for him. See that AC/DC on his back?
15. Chimera cat
This is Venus. A chimera cat is a cat that may have different DNA on each side of the body. And interestingly, they aren’t that rare.
16. It’s a mystery
Who does this cat remind you of? If you’ve ever watched any Agatha Christie movies, you’ll recognize Hercule Poirot.
17. Hmm
The coloring is off, but this guy reminds me of Broadway plays. The Phantom of the Opera to be specific.
18. Mixed breed
When you have a mixed breed, the whole dog is usually mixed. Not a dalmatian tail, and the body of some other breed.
19. Hmm
I think I would call her Cleopatra since that looks like a pyramid on her nose. Or is that the sign of the Illuminati?
20. Train of thought
Maybe it’s because I have Egypt on my mind from the last picture, but this makes me think of Egypt as well. He eyes are like an upside down Eye of Horus.
21. Whatchu lookin at?
It’s probably rude to stare, right? But this little guy has quite the heart shaped bottom.
22. Hmm
Look at that frown. Someone looks worried about something. Maybe the diet it just heard it was going on?
23. Ooh!
Look at this little leopard wannabe. As if this isn’t already special, there’s that heart there too.
24. What a face
Does this little guy remind anyone of a panda bear? And look at the markings on his paws. So cute!
25. Lots of love
I see a distinct heart on this kitty’s chest. And maybe another wannabe heart on its hip. Then there’s that little chin goatee.
26. Have a heart
This is Siva. Siva is a Caucasian Shepherd Dog—which I had never heard of before. And he wears his heart on his chest, as it should be.
27. Logo?
This is Sweetheart. Depending on how you look at it, that could be a heart on her forehead. But it also makes me think of a sport’s team logo or emblem. And that ear blob!
28. Some DC Comics?
This is Tobey. Is it just me, or does anyone else also see a resemblance to The Joker?
29. Street brawl?
I don’t know. The owner of this cat sees a stash and a goatee. I’m not saying I don’t see that as well, but at first glance, I think of a bad bruise from a fist in the face. Too much violent TV maybe?
30. What a beauty
This is Blaze. I wonder if Blaze likes the water, because he seems to be sporting an angel fish on his side.
31. Shocking!
This is Max. Max has quite the eyebrow. I can’t tell if he looks shocked, frightened, or is doing that haughty, single brow lift thing. What do you think?
32. Well!
It’s never cool when someone turns their back on you, right? But what if they had a giant heart on their back? Does that make it better?
33. So proper
This is Charles. Doesn’t he look like the butler in some swanky home? With the tuxedo and thin mustache?
34. Two faced
This is Sacha. She is another chimera cat that possibly has double DNA. Regardless, she is a cutie.
35. Moo
Should we say, “I love moo?” That’s a perfectly shaped heart this cow is sporting. Fantastic!
36. I didn’t pay
So I went to get my brows done. Yeah, I didn’t check the reviews first. Look at what they did!
37. Don’t feel bad
Be proud! Being a nine is great. It’s as close as you can get to being a ten.
38. She’s a beauty
The horse I mean. If you look closely, you’ll see I might be talking about the woman in white on her face.
39. What do you see?
A few things come to mind. Some say Batman but I see a Stealth Bomber. Or maybe some sort of sci-fi spaceship.
40. Oh, oh
This little kitty has something of a Hitler mustache. I hope it’s owner is prepared to submit to its domination.
41. Take flight
This is a deerhound puppy. It looks like he’s wearing a goose or some other large bird that’s about to take flight on his chest.
42. Be afraid
I don’t know. Someone thinks this cat has sweet little lips. That is not what I see at all. I see a mean looking cat that looks like it wants to scratch your face off.
43. Ow
Mom always said it’s all fun until someone loses an eye. I didn’t lose mine, but this is going to take a while to heal.
44. Hmm
Frankly, I’m not sure what I see here. I’m thinking stingray or some kind of insect. But this bunny has some perfectly balanced markings. Gorgeous.
45. What is that?
I’m not asking about the markings. I’m asking about the animal. Is that a mean, weird looking cat? A small dog? Whatever it is, I see a shuriken on it’s face. A Japanese throwing star.
46. I know, I know
I know what you’re thinking. These brows are too big for my face, right? But I’m just so tired of plucking and waxing. You’ll have to love me as I am.
47. Make a wish
This very cute little kitty has a wishbone on his nose. Better it’s there where he can’t try to eat it, right?
48. Boo!
There’s no need to be afraid. I’m sure this is a very nice dog, despite the fact it looks like it’s carrying around a ghost on its back.
49. What a pair
I get the sense these two don’t like having their picture taken. Maybe because they are tired of the comparisons. It’s not nice to compare your kids! Everyone should know that.
50. Don’t be fooled
That may be a little heart this husky wears on its chest—right where it should be—but I but there’s a huge heart inside. One with lots of love for its owners.
51. Watch where you walk
If you’ve ever done any painting, you know the chances for drips and splashes are high. No matter how careful you are. Was this guy in the wrong place at the wrong time?
52. Wow
I really don’t have much to say about this cat’s markings. Mainly because I couldn’t look at it long enough to figure them out. Those eyes! I felt as if it were casting a spell on me!
53. Tough guy
What are you staring at? Don’t you watch football? The black markings under my eyes are perfectly normal.
54. More bats?
This is Miska. Some feel that Miska is wearing a Batman suit, but I don’t really see it. I do love the cute white paws, though.
55. What to say?
Someone clearly feels this animal has some spectacular markings. Maybe I’m missing something? Other than a black and white cat.
56. Goosed again
This is Baba. I posted another dog earlier that had what looked like a goose on his chest. This one looks even more legit.
57. Wow!
That’s either an impossibly big cat or it’s sitting on something black. If not for the eyes, that exclamation mark on its nose, and that patch of white, you wouldn’t see it.
58. Play the card you’re dealt
This is Ouzo. If life were a card game, who would he be? The Jack of Clubs or the King of Clubs. If there was a vote, I’d vote for King.
59. Facial hair
This looks a bit like a full beard that took control. To the point where scary old man eyebrows are part of the deal.
60. Snack time
Frankly, it took me a moment to see it. But there’s a bone shaped mark above the lip. A tiny treat?
61. Hahaha
I want this cat for the coloring alone. But those golden eyebrows give it a true scaredy-cat look.
62. It depends
There’s a lot going on here. Near the bottom I see some creepy looking things with arms outstretched. Above that I see the tip of an old-fashioned pen.
63. Lovely bunny
Who sees a carrot? Appropriate, right? But is it a knife? Maybe an exclamation point?
64. Aye, Matey
Is this a pirate cat? Perhaps Captain Jack Sparrow? It doesn’t matter. All that matters is the eye patch.
65. What?
Clearly, this cow is asking a question. I think it’s, “Excuse me? I didn’t hear that. Could you repeat?”
66. They’re everywhere
Do you ever feel as though hipsters are taking over the world? You are right in thinking this trend is everywhere. Even pets are following the trend.
67. It wasn’t me!
Did you ever eat something as a kid that was forbidden? And when asked you vehemently denied eating it, not knowing the evidence was spread all around your mouth?
68. Run!
I’m not sure what that hairy, black beast is, but it looks scary. It also seems as though the cat is looking back at it.
69. LOL
Are you looking at my butt? Everyone looks at my butt. I’m a little tired of it.
70. Be afraid
I’m sure someone loves this cat. I’m sure there’s a good chance this cat is lovable. However, there is no escaping the fact this cot is scary looking.
71. Magic Marker
Did one of the kids get hold of a magic marker? Because that really looks like a hand drawn mustache. One drawn by a kid—or me.
72. Fantastic
These markings are amazing. The eyes are spoonfuls of blue ice. And that heart shaped nose.
73. Peek-a-boo!
Look at that face. Those big round eyes and the brows give this one a look of being forever in fear.
74. It’s cold
Winter is coming, and I am prepared. Thigh highs in front and some socks in back.
75. And this little piggy…
Well, this little piggy better not wind up as bacon. It’s got way to much heart for that to happen.
