A cow gave birth to a calf with two heads. The calf died a few days after birth. After the birth of this two-headed calf, the people of the village came in panic. The villagers were surprised to see this unique incident.
According to the report of ‘Daily Star’, the case pertains to Tapera Do Peixe village located in Bahia State of Brazil. Where on July 18, a cow gave birth to a two-headed calf in a villager’s field. However, the calf died just four days after being born.
After the birth of this strange-looking calf, the villagers were in panic. However, doctors told that the calf was born with two heads due to ‘ultra rare’ genetic defect. This is just a coincidence. This has happened many times in the past as well.
Elidan Oliveira Sousa, who raised the animal, said – This is a rare incident, it is an unusual case. My daughter was amazed as she had never seen such a rare phenomenon. He said he and his 12-year-old daughter, Aleida Sousa, could barely get close to the “strange creature” because the cow wouldn’t let us get close to it.
According to Elidon, the cow that gave birth to the calf did not let us get close to her child. We wanted to feed the calf, so that things could be done properly. However, later the calf died and now we are taking care of the cow.
Elidan said that he wanted to take the calf to the vet but it had already died. He told that despite the severe genetic defect, the calf survived for four whole days (till July 21). In this case, experts say that animals with such genetic abnormalities are usually either born dead or die shortly after birth.
