There has been one born in China. The recent barage of two faced animals keeps coming. The last two faced animal born was a cow. Some feel it is a sign of immnent apocalypse , but the chinese farmers are saying its a sign of a blessing.

There are actually a lot of animals born with extra limbs and whatnot. People rarely report them, though, either from superstition or to avoid stigma. But it's pretty common - I had two buddies who used to breed two-headed snakes. Humans are born with vestigial tails and extra digits, it happens.

I didnt realise how many two headed animals that there had been. I saw a picture on this story of a deer that was born with six legs. The chinese have the year of the pig staring next month which is why they are considering this- the two headed pig- a blessing .

If these weird animals are born as a result of nature then it's just one of these unusual birth defects. I it is a planned result from experiments or any other such methods. Then I think it is sick and inhumane.

The ones I saw pictures of and the ones in this story are all just born with this. Its not anything that man has done to cause it directly , now indirectly maybe so.

And they say two heads are better than one. - Strange site to see a calf with two heads.
Hello again. I was raised in the country on a farm for part of my life and this is not such an uncommon thing, just something that people don't want to discuss as they would lose business from locals. It is pretty freaky looking though.

Does this go back many years or is this something that has developed in recent years? I just wondered how long people had been saying it was a sign of the end of the world?

I heard about the two faced cow. I saw that news story when I was looking at news stories around the internet yesterday. I think that it's so strange that there are more and more cases of these two-headed animals popping up lately. I wouldn't call it a sign of the apocolpse, though. But I also didn't know that Chinese farmers think of it as a blessing. That's really cool! I'm glad that someone doesn't see every little strange thing that happens as a negative thing, or as a sign that the end of the world is coming! *laugh* I mean, I agree that society is in a bad place, but I don't think that the end of the world is all that near. But then, what do I know? LOL.

I couldnt help but feel sorry for the animals because it must be so difficult for them. It enough to keep up with one set of everything without having two. I dont know if they live as long or how there life is, wether they are healthy or what? Maybe that is all different.

No and I sure don't want to see it either... you really start to wonder about all the foods and things we have that are making such mutations...are we eating these animals too... and are vegetables with all the fertilizers and pesticides they use as well ,,its all very scary anymore...:(
