Two-Headed Pig Born In China

IFWT_TwoHeadedPig
According to NBC News a two-headed pig was born in China, the local vet says that the pig suffers from deformity and is unlikely to survive.
The pig has two snouts, two ears and what looks to be two and a shared eye, yet only one body holds up the two heads. The deformation could be due to axial bifurcation, a process scientist named as the cause for a two-headed bull shark in a study published last month. Axial Bifurcation is a process where an embryo is dividing into two organisms but it stops and the process is incomplete. It’s awkwardly cute, and sad at the same time. Abi?
