Two-faced cow

A calf with two faces has been born in America.

The calf has three sets of teeth, two lower jaws and two tongues, but only one mouth; two noses with separate airways, and a single eye socket, which has two eyes in it.

Farmer Kirk Heldreth, of Rural Retreat in Virginia, said: "It's as healthy as can be."

Mr Heldreth said when he was delivering the calf he thought it was twins reports Metro.

He added: "I came and examined the animal and thought she was having twins at the same time and, wow, was I ever surprised."

ughhh...

Not that uncommon.  Seen this stuff before with many animals.  Hell, even with human children on several occasions.  What I want to know is -- two brains?  If not, maybe it can go on living okay.  If so... that's going to be rough.

Jesus! Kill that thing! I don't know why people like looking at this kind of stuff. As strong as my stomach is, it can't handle mutations like that...and rhinoplasty.

The two eyes in the center really wierds me out.

Que is right though, this isn't all that uncommon with animals.  It actually happens with reptiles quite a bit.  We had a 2 headed snake in my Biology class for a while in 7th grade.

That is difficult to look at yes, but I can't help but take a peek.
