PHOTOS: Cow Gives Birth To Monster Calf With Ten Lips

This calf in northern India has five mouths and is attracting a stream of human visitors

A weird calf with five mouths and ten lips was born in Narnaul, northern India.

Although the baby cow has five mouths he can only take in milk through two of his mouths. He is being fed three times a day at the dairy farm where he was born. Shocked locals have called the calf Nandi – a nickname for Lord Krishna.

From the neck down the baby, who has been called Nandi, looks like any other calf

It can also mean one who pleases others. In India’s Hindu culture, cows are revered as a symbol of life. Nandi is attracting a constant stream of visitors wanting to celebrate him. Many of them kneel before him to pray and touch his hooves.

Nandi sucks from his mother’s udders with one of his mouths. She feeds him three times a day

Local vet Sukhbir Singh said that despite Nandi’s appearance, he is healthy and thriving. But the calf’s two eyes are positioned in such a way on his distorted head that he can only see to his sides and can’t look in front of him. One eye is blue and the other black. 

Wreaths such as those around the calf’s neck are traditionally used in India during worship

The mutation in animals is becoming quite normal nowadays as more and more weird creatures appear: a goat with six legs, a two-headed cow, a piglet who was born with 8 legs, a lamb born with four eyes, two noses and two mouths, a cyclop lamb with only one eye, two-headed snake and many more.
