Leafy Sea Dragons
These stunning sea dragon pictures illuminate their mysterious beauty and extraordinary adaptations. The near-invisibility of their fins gives the sea dragons the appearance of floating seaweed that is drifting with the currents. Instead of scales, they have protective armor to ward off predators. The row of spines along their backs can also wound attackers. At other times they will curl into balls like porcupines in self defense. Truly extraordinary creatures.
Thumb aplasia is a congenital defect in which a baby is born without a thumb. The exact cause of thumb aplasia is not yet known. It is very rare, occurring in about 1 out of 100,000 live births. Generally, surgery to correct thumb aplasia is done between 6 and 18 months old. When the thumb is absent, a technique called pollicization is performed, in which the index finger is transferred to the area of the thumb.
