Few Kilometers from the home of the owner Paul Ongaro, another cow had delivered a calf with two heads in 2011.

According to Mr.  Ongaro, his cow never showed any sign of complications during gestation period. 

"It was healthy and I am shocked that the calf has all these complications.

"The vetenary officer who has been taking care of it never realised anything either,' said a sorrowful Ongaro.

The incident caused panic across the village with some linking it to witchcraft. 

Until now,  the calf remains healthy with veteran vetinary officer Nyamwaka Onsongo insisting it's a genetic disorder.

"There is nothing unusual with that. It's just genetic disorder which occurs to any animal including human beings."
