'We can’t even estimate the
rarity of this. Of the tens of millions of fawns born annually in the US, there
are probably abnormalities happening in the wild we don’t even know about'

An “extremely rare”
two-headed deer has
been discovered by a mushroom hunter in a forest by a Minnesota.
The conjoined twin fawns
appeared to have been stillborn, but they are the first ones known to have
been carried to term and delivered by their mother.
After discovering the specimen
while out foraging near the Mississippi River, the mushroom hunter delivered it
to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, where Dr Gino D’Angelo was
working at the time.
