Ok, so I seriously don’t know what’s going on anymore. Is it just me, or are farm animals getting freaky? I found it amusing in the beginning, but now it’s just weirding me out. First there was the calf born with two faces, who sadly died. Then there was the baby chick with four legs. Now there is a cow with six legs, and another one with two noses. Don’t believe me? Picture proof… But the craziness doesn’t...

I am really starting to see a worrisome trend within the animal kingdom recently. Both wild and domestic animals are defying Mother Nature and exhibiting great angst against the human race.

Okay, now I’m really freaked out. What the heck is going on in the animal kingdom? First there was the hermaphrodite deer, then the deer with 7 feet. Now, out of Virginia comes a calf born with two faces. You heard me. Two faces. Born on Dec. 27 at Heldreth Dairy Farm, word was spread quickly and crowds have begun to gather. The calf is normal in all other aspects, except for its very unusual head. It had two tongues, which move independently,...

What the heck is going on in the deer community? First there was the hermaphrodite deer. Now, out of Wisconsin comes a deer with seven legs. And, it too has both male and female organs. Rick Lisko, who normally hunts deer with a bow, actually hit this one with his truck when it and two does ran onto the road. When Rick got out to check on the deer, he saw that it had appendages about 3 to 4 inches in length, growing from the rear legs. Then...
