A calf born with two heads has shocked farmers in a village in Dejiang County, Guizhou Province.

The video shows the mutant baby animal with two heads, two ears, two mouths and four eyes. 

The calf's mother gave birth to it last Saturday after a difficult seven-hour labour.

Villager Auntie Zhang said it was unable to stand up on its own, but could drink milk from both mouths.

She told reporters: 'I am more than 70 years old, and I had never seen any cow like this in my life.'

The unusual calf has attracted the attention of many residents of the village, who flocked to auntie Zhang's home to see it.

One neighbour told the reporter that she had come to see the animal because she could not believe the news. 'Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I know it's true,' she added.

An expert said that the two-headed cow shared the same throat and could grow four horns. He claimed that the calf was healthy and hoped that it could keep growing.

It is believed the cow was affected by a genetic mutation while still inside its mother's uterus.
