This is a newly born calf at the Kirk Heldreth's dairy farm located in southwest Virginia, United States. It has two faces.The animal is normal from its tail until its unusually large head. The calf breathes out of two noses and has two tongues, which move independently, according to Heldreth. There appears to be a single socket containing two eyes where the heads split.
The calf has two lower jaws, but only one mouth. The calf was the product of artificial insemination, which was supposed to create a genetically superior specimen.
"Genetically, this is one of my better calves," he said. Heldreth said the calf doesn't appear to have any other physical ailments or complications. "It's as healthy as can be," he said.
