You can't see my rare features, but i was born without an appendix, I have an extra vertebrae and my normal body temperature is 96 degrees, F. rather than 98.6. Oh, and my eyes fixed themselves. I don't need glasses anymore.

My grandpa's heart was in his body backwards, discovered when he had a heart attack and needed surgery. All his other organs were oriented correctly, just his heart was backwards.

My daughter has double rows of eyelashes.
I have molars with J-shaped roots that curve back upward upon themselves.
I also have Darwin’s tubercles, which causes excess cartilaginous bumps all along my ears and makes them pointy on top like a little elf!

My husband has an extra thumb on one hand. Not functional but it's pretty cool.

I worked with a woman with the most electric yellowish green eyes. I’m jealous to this day. You never see green eyes like THAT!

My Indian second cousin (with Indian parents) has dark blue eyes. 99.99% of Indians have black/brown eyes. Occasionally Indians have green or pale brown eyes, but never blue.

I knew a girl that didn’t have a belly button. It was just a slight divot.

I have offsetting birth defects in my hand. I inherited polydactyl genes from my mom and missing fingy genes from my dad. I have 10 fingers, but they're not normal.
My right hand has 2 ring fingers and no pinky. Looks almost totally normal til you X ray it.
(Edit- The key difference between your pinky and other fingers is that the pinky shares a ~~knuckle~~ tendon with the ring finger. Thats why you can't fold your pinky flat without also bending your ring finger in a little. I however can make a fist with only my "pinky" no problem.).
