A similar case happened in Uttar Pradesh where the same kind of calf was born in Chandauli district. The animal’s birth was being called a miracle by the local villagers.

Chaundauli’s Chief Veterinary Officer, giving a biological explanation,  said that the foetus grows in the womb before the cells divide into numerous parts. He added that the two heads form because of the growth of additional cells.
