The girls were born with the rare condition diprosopus, where the embryo fails to completely split and twins share one body. The two girls are now in stable condition and breathing without any assistance.

There’s a freeper that believes these sorts of things and babies’ illnesses are a result of the parents sins. I would like to hear from him about this.

We had a calf born a couple of years ago with 2 faces on one body. It was dead when we found it soon after birth, may have been born dead or died soon after.

Very sad for this family in Australia.
