Have you seen this two faced cat? Her name is Quimera. Her uncommon beauty is caused by a rare genetic occurrence called genetic Chimera. A chimera is an animal that contains two different sets of DNA, originating from the fusion of many zygotes (fertilized egs). Practically it means that the eggs fused together and formed a single organism made up of DNA from two distinct organisms.

That is the science behind the beauty of Quimera, the two faced cat. There is also a chance she might actually be a mosaic, a different genetic occurrence, which is more widely spread, which means she developed from one single egg, but her body presents cells with 2 different sets of DNA. Only genetic testing might let us know the reality of Quimera.

But, science aside, Quimera is simply a beautiful manifestation of chance. Her rare beauty made her internet-famous, and from the pictures below, you can see that for yourself. She also has a huge following on her instagram. Check her out:
