A two-faced mutant calf was born in India. The Daily Mail drew attention to the video with the unusual animal. The calf was born about a month ago in the town of Tirukkoyilur, Tamil Nadu state in southern India. Its owner, the milkman Kathiruval, was extremely surprised at the birth of the mutant: “We were amazed. None of my cows have ever given birth to two-headed calves before. The animal has two faces and mouths and four eyes, but one skull and one pair of ears.
According to Kasiruwala, no one in the town, including the veterinarians, believed that a calf would live longer than a few hours. But more than a month has passed, and the animal is all right. Every day locals come to see the mutant. One of them called the calf a "divine miracle." The calf mutation is called polycephaly. It is found in reptiles, mammals and sometimes in humans. If two embryos in the womb do not completely separate, the individual develops two brains, but the same respiratory and digestive systems, as well as one body for two. As a rule, mutants die soon after birth, but there are exceptions.
