OMG I am going to have nightmares now! Where were the other eyes! I only saw one :dumb: :shock: It looked sort of like a cyclops piggy.
Poor little piggy :(

I think the other two are on the side....
they could have been twins but the embryo only separated at the head...

Ok well I won't post the article I found on chimpanzees using tools [stick/spear] to hunt, kill and eat bush babies [some kind of small marsupial I think] :shock: :evil: ;)

Did you ever see the cyclops kitten that was born? It died a short time afterwards. I think I remember that it didn't actually have a nose- just one eye and a mouth.. poor critter :(

:scratchhead: no they couldn't have been twins...
could it have been mechanical damage splitting the embryo?

look at skeletons of human twins...theres a two headed one:shock:
Developmental Biology 8e Online: Types of Conjoined Twins

It's unfortunate that this phenomenon occurs, especially what both heads thinks separately...and horrible people display them in freak shows for money

I can also mention that my high school has a preserved kitten with two heads....

It does occur in animals occasionally

My teacher told me in a high school here (was it mine?) a student brought in a calf with two heads for disection once it died

Thats just scarey..

But speaking of horrible people and what they do to animals. I remember a couple years back some mean people were breeding cats to have very short front paws like rabbits. So they would be forced to hop everywhere they moved. I think most died because they could not properly care for themselves or walk.
I can't remember what they were called. Some kind of stupid fluffy name. I thought that was a horror show too! :((

smartie2000 04-09-2007 02:29 PM

that is sad!

Ornamental goldfishes are sort of like that too when I think of it... I can't belive I keep buying them to replace the dead ones. I have to stop and buy fish that have more natural bodies so they don't always die. In the wild these mutants would already have been culled off...
