TBILISI, Georgia (AP) - A cow in Georgia has given birth to a two-headed calf.

Farmer Irakli Dzhgarkava, shown with the calf on Imedi television, says the cow is refusing to allow her strange offspring to suckle, so they are giving it milk from a bottle.

He says the calf eats with both heads.

Friday's television report says people have been coming to the village of Martvili to see the grayish-brown calf since it was born Jan. 2.

The village is located in western Georgia, about 280 kilometers (170 miles) from the capital, Tbilisi.

CAIRO (AP) -- A farmer in northern Egypt says his cow has given birth to a two-headed calf that he calls a "divine miracle."

Sobhy el-Ganzoury said Saturday it took two hours and much pulling to deliver the rare calf. He said the difficult birth has weakened the calf's legs.

El-Ganzoury said the veterinarian informed him that the calf, which was born this week, is now in stable condition and is expected to survive. He said he intends to keep the animal as a reminder that "God is able to do anything."

The calf still can't stand up because of its heavy heads and weak legs, and is being fed her mother's milk with a baby bottle.

Two-headed bobtail lizard found in Australia

Tom Phillips
22nd April, 2010

It's been a while since we've had a decent two-headed animal on these pages. So, without further ado, we proudly present… the two-headed lizard.

The two-headed bobtail (a type of skink native to Australia, also known as the Shingleback) was rescued in Coogee, New South Wales, by workers from a reptile park.

Now housed at the reptile park in Henley Brook, Perth, it's doing well - despite the fact that two-headed lizards tend to not have very long life expectancies.

The lizard - which doesn't just have two heads, but has a set of forelegs on either side of each head - is even able to eat with both mouths.

The major downside of having two heads is that it makes moving around quite difficult, and the larger of the two heads has a tendency to try and attack the smaller head.

The bobtail's brother, who has just the one head, is also housed at the park.

Hurrah, it's a Turtle With Two Heads

Friday, February 27, 2009

While we had a Frog With Seven Legs just yesterday, it's been a while since we had a good animal with an unexpectedly large number of heads. We are pleased to rectify that situation now, as we present to you A Turtle With Two Heads.

The Turtle With Two Heads was found in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China. That is pretty much all we know about The Turtle With Two Heads. So much so that we are basically just copying and pasting the text from yesterday's Frog With Seven Legs article. It's late, shut up.
