Two Headed Calf




Here is a two headed calf that was born with difficulty on Jan 25th in Sotk Village in Armenia in a cow house run by a couple. The couple has been engaged in livestock breeding for the past 20 years but were shocked to see a two-headed calf.

The calf is artificially fed three times a day. According to the vets, initial three days were crucial for the calf. If it survived the three days, it will not have difficulties. It is a female but has characteristics of a male calf as well. The villagers are quite shocked as they had never seen such a calf.

When I first saw the picture, I couldn't really figure out if it was a calf in the first glance. I hope it survives and does not have issues later on. This is the first time I ever saw a two headed calf.
