Different Ears Anomaly — Animal Hospital
Photo / CCTV Detection LayerEvidence: HIGH
Quick Answer
Different Ears: the patient's ears don't match — different shape, count, placement or color between the photo/CCTV and the patient at the window. Widely considered one of the hardest anomalies to spot.
How to Spot It
- In the photo, the ears differ from how they appear at the check-in window (shape, count, placement, or color).
- On CCTV, the ears look different compared to the check-in window.
- The patient appears completely normal otherwise.
One of the hardest anomalies to spot — ear differences are subtle.
What to Do
Compare ears line by line on every detection layer, then reject when they don't match.
Special Mechanics & Warnings
- Fandom records it as two separate entries: Mismatched Ears (photo) and Mismatching Ears (CCTV). A fan site claims both are the same anomaly.
Source Disagreement
Layer attribution unresolved: Fandom keeps photo-layer Mismatched Ears and CCTV-layer Mismatching Ears as separate records, while a fan site claims they are the same anomaly (and contradicts itself on whether it is camera-only).
