    TWO-HEADED CALF BORN IN KAPAN DIES

    KAPAN, FEBRUARY 7, ARMENPRESS: A two-headed calf
    was born this week on a dairy farm in a village in
    southern Armenia province of Syunik. But shortly
    afterwards it died. The local veterinary, Tigran
    Danielian, managed to save the mother cow.
    According to him, that was the fourth delivery of
    the six-year old cow that had a normal pregnancy
    period.
    Local people said they heard about such things, but
    never saw a calf with more than one head, although
    they saw calves with three legs, one ear.
    Scientists call this polycephaly, which is the
    condition of having more than one head. The term is
    derived from the stems poly- meaning 'many' and
    kephal- meaning "head", and encompasses bicephaly and
    dicephaly (both referring to two-headedness).
