Skout

Skout: noun. An internal membrane found in few animals. These can be naturally occurring or obtained after a surgical procedure, in either case animals tend not to survive long. An animal with this organ resembles other members of its species if they were turned inside-out. There is a lot of debate on the purpose such an organ would serve, while many say that this is the result of the animal going horribly wrong; some say that it forms with the specific purpose to keep many of the other organs away from the centre and that more research should be done to find why this is. Most governments slow this kind of research down with laws against turning animals inside out to study the results; claiming that it is animal cruelty, and it seems that this is unlikely to change anytime soon.
