In the Philippines, a piglet born with two heads, two noses and three eyes shocked the locals. The video, filmed by eyewitnesses on January 31, drew the attention of the Daily Mail. A mutant named Mara Clara was born in the village of Qalian, Sultan-Kudarat province. The footage shows how the owner of the pig, Adelita Dalipe, holds her in front of her in her arms in front of the villagers. Then the woman puts it next to the mother to feed the newborn.
Dalipe admitted that she was confused after the birth of Mara Klara, but soon appreciated her uniqueness, the newspaper reports. “I think the pig is lucky. She's so unusual. It is so wonderful that she is alive and well,”says the woman. - The baby has a lot of energy, just like her brothers and sisters. I will protect her and take care of her with due care. Mara Klara is kept in a separate cage, she is constantly looked after.
The piglet mutation is called polycephaly. The anomaly occurs in reptiles, mammals and sometimes in humans. If two embryos in the womb do not completely separate, the individual develops two brains with the same systems of respiration and digestion. As a rule, mutants die soon after birth, but there are exceptions.
