2-head calf in America

The calf is born with a neck, two ears, two snouts and four eyes always open and closed at the same time. That's why the boss of the two-headed calf gave it the name Blinky (blink of an eye). But the sad thing is that Blinky's chances of survival are very low.

Picture 1 of 2-head calf in America Blinky was born on a page in the small town of Tulare in the state of California - USA on Tuesday night. Because it has four eyes that always flash at the same time, it was given the name ' blinking ' by the farm owner.

Since Blinky was born, Mr. Greg Hamstra's cattle farm in Tulare has become famous. Many residents around the region and reporters from all over the country have flocked here to see first-hand the calf. The bustle has caused the farm owner to complain: ' In general, my business is not very progressive'.

Why does Blinky have two heads? According to Tulare City veterinarian Pete Kistler, this can only be explained by a genetic defect during conception and developmental abnormalities of the fetus in the abdomen. mother.

In 20 years of practice, the veterinarian Pete Kistler averages about 16,000 cows a year, but before that he only had two heads of two calves. Both previously deformed animals died immediately after birth.

Sadly, Blinky's future is not bright either, because animals have a serious damage to the brain and cannot stand up. Because of that, the beast doctor is afraid that this bad animal will be injected with a humanitarian nose so that he will not suffer suffering. And Blinky's boss thought otherwise: 'It would be great if we could extend Blinky's life.'
