Genetic changes have created bizarre two-headed animals, from cats, fish, and cows to pythons, turtles, crocodiles and grasshoppers. Cat

This lovely two-headed gray-and-white cat was born at Swan Veterinary Hospital, Perth, Western Australia. Because his mother had complications during birth, he had to seek help from veterinarian George Huber and nurse Louisa Burgess.

This little cat, not yet as big as a hand, also has two other siblings born at the same time, but neither of them showed any signs of abnormalities.

The two-headed cat is smaller than a hand.

This cat only eats with one mouth because one side has a cleft palate, but both can make sounds in unison.

According to statistics, only one in a million cats in the world are born with two heads, but this deformity appears more often in other animals such as snakes or turtles.

Gecko

Gecko with one big head and one small head.

A gecko with two heads on both sides was found in an antique shop in Huaihua city, Hunan province, China on June 3, 2008.

This special gecko is about 10 cm long. Although the movement is a bit slow, he can crawl in the opposite direction without turning around.

Pig

The two-headed pig is considered a symbol of luck in China.

Weighing 1.5 kg, with two mouths and three eyes, the two-headed pig was born in a small village in Quanzhou, Fujian province, East China.

His birth was considered a “miracle” by the farmers. The pig is considered a symbol of fertility in China.

Not only that, this pig was born in the year of the pig, 2007, so many people considered it a lucky omen for the whole year.

Python

The two-headed python is only about 64 cm long.

A team of veterinarians discovered the two-headed python at the zoo in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Both heads of this python work independently and are capable of eating.

With a length of 64 cm, it uses its right head to control all movements while its left head just follows naturally.

Normally, pythons living in the natural world can be up to 7 m long and can swallow prey larger than their own size. It is still unclear what the fate of this strange python is.

Veterinarians are conducting tests to study whether this deformity threatens its life.

Turtle

Two-headed turtles have a very long lifespan.

The two-headed turtle was found at an animal store in Florida. Casey, the store owner, took the turtle home to take care of him.

Normally, such deformed turtles die soon after birth, but Mr. Casey said this turtle can live for many years, up to 75 to 100 years, but requires special care such as: Feed each side of the head by hand.

Unfortunately, this particular turtle was recently stolen from Casey’s store.

Crocodile

Crocodile gives birth to twins with two bodies conjoined.

This “unique” conjoined twin crocodile was found by staff at a crocodile farm in Thailand in 2001.

Cow

Two-faced cows are the result of artificial insemination.

This two-faced cow is of American nationality, he has three teeth, two upper jaws and two tongues but only one mouth, two noses with separate airways and one eye socket with two eyes.

This unusual cow belongs to Mr. Kirk Heldreth, Virginia, USA. Ironically, this is the result of selective artificial insemination to create the best breed of cows. This condition is considered a form of twinning, usually occurring when an embryo is partially divided, forming two sides on one body.

Sheep

A two-headed sheep cannot live until the second day.

This two-headed sheep born in Iceland has surprised animal experts around the world. Expert Pall Stefansson said two-headed sheep are very rare, there have only been two similar cases before. This sheep survived the first night but sadly its life could not be extended as it could not lift its head.

Grasshopper

Grasshoppers have one green head and one red head.

This orthopteran insect has two heads with one red and one blue-edged. The red head has the ability to attract attention and distract enemies so they do not attack the main head.

This photo was taken on a coffee farm in Amaga, Antioquia state, Colombia.

Fish

This special fish was found in Canada.

The special fish with two heads was caught from Lake Athabasca, Canada. The fish weighs up to 2.5 kg, has two mouths, one mouth is below the other.
