Photos: Calf with 8 Legs, 4 Ears, 2 Bodies And One Head

A cow in New Zealand has delivered a deformed calf who has two
bodies, four ears, and eight legs on Monday.

A veterinarian of dairy farm, Neil Davy, who delivered the stillborn calf , told the website NZ Farmer that if he hadn't been there, the mother cow would have surely died.

Davy told the site that he'd originally thought it(the Cow) was delivering twins. Close enough: identical twins come from one egg that divides, and veterinarian Jonathan Spencer told NZ Farmer that Davy's calf "[seems] like an incomplete divide of an egg."

cases of deformities have been recorded also in the past which occurs in cattle.

for instance In 2012, a calf with an extra pair of legs was born in Switzerland. Although vets didn't initially think the six-legged cow had much chance of survival, the calf seemed to be doing just fine at two months old.

In January 2011, a two-headed cow was born in Georgia. The farmer said that the animal ate with both heads.
