Farmer Bhaskar was not anticipating any hitches when his cow gave birth at his farm in Paarasalai village in southern India last week.
He was therefore surprised when a calf popped out with conjoined heads.
The unusual cloven-hoved youngster had four eyes and two mouths, but only one pair of ears.
Bhaskar's farm quickly became a tourist attraction, receiving visitors from neighbouring villages wanting to see the rare calf.
Because the baby cow has two tongues it is unable to drink milk, meaning the caring farmer has to feed him milk from a bottle each day.
The mother and calf both are presently well, but the future of the youngster is uncertain.
The phenomenon of an animal being born with two heads is called bicephaly.
