Very bad omen? Cow bears calf with two heads

Cow gives birth to a two-headed calf
The birth of a two-headed calf in Peru has received worldwide media attention, although such so-called Disephalien (two heads, one body) quite common. Most recently, the Daily Mail reported a two-headed calf on a farm in Florida from birth in May. Normally, these special forms of Siamese twins would be barely viable in animals, but in human behavior two-headed calves can survive for some time.

Even the two-headed calf in the Peruvian village can not stand up on its own and is dependent on feeding, since his two heads are too heavy for the neck muscles. Otherwise, the calf makes a very healthy impression. However, it is questionable how long the animal will survive with the disephaly. For the time being, however, the calf remains a worldwide sensation.

Siamese twins in animals
The two-headed calf has a thoroughly ambivalent effect on the inhabitants of the village, according to "Daily Mail". While some consider the unusual shape of the calf to be a good omen, others here see a warning from God of evil in the world. Ultimately, however, behind the phenomenon is only a mutation, as they also have Siamese twins in humans. (Fp)
