2-Headed calf: Medical Condition or a Rare Event?
According to veterinarian sources, a two-headed cow, also known as a calf with polycephaly, is an animal born with two heads, a rare congenital condition. This occurs due to incomplete splitting of an embryo or the fusion of two embryos. While most calves with this condition are stillborn, some can survive for a short period.
