Two-Headed Lamb Born in Ghana
the daily dish
An extremely rare two-headed lamb was born Monday afternoon in a small village in Tarkwa, Ghana, according to Adom News.
The black-and-white-colored lamb has a normal body in every way except for its two distinct heads.
Witnesses say the lamb was born next to a spare parts and general goods dealer's shop called Sackious Ventures. Little else is known about the animal at this time, and its owner has not yet been identified.
The technical term for the condition of having two heads is polycephaly. Two-headed animals are very rare, but certainly not unheard of. Another two-head lamb was born in Shandong, China, in 2006. A two-headed lamb born in the West Bank in 2008 was seen by locals as a sign from God.
Todd Ray, host of AMC's "Freakshow," has gotten wind of the polycephalic lamb's birth, according to the Examiner. Ray, who has had experience with two-headed animals, says it's important to observe which head may be more dominant. "People often try to feed both mouths, but one may not have a functioning throat," Ray said.

Sounds like being literally "Two-faced"!

There are also people who have the same misfortune---especially 1 pair that has been around for many years. A girl with a twin attached - 2 heads---they try and live separate lives but it must be so hard. I know that there is a man in the USA (I think) who collects "freaks of nature" and pays big bucks for them!

That is one weird animal. Are we sure that's not photo shopped? I mean come on. I know a lot of weird things can happen, but a two headed animal? I have never heard that kind of thing happening until now. I even live on a farm where I raise different types of animals and none of them have come out with two heads or anything like that. I say its a faked photo personally.
