Chimerism

Sometimes when a chimera who was originally a set of same-sex twins is born, they can possess a patch of skin or even a different eye color. In case the sex was different, i.e. a chimera born from a male and a female twin, it has the possibility of becoming a hermaphrodite. However, in the case of animals, the effects of chimerism can be more extreme.
