Rare two-headed porpoise caught by Dutch fishermen


Last month, a group of Dutch fishermen was going through its daily fishing routine when it noticed a baby porpoise stuck in one of its nets. The creature, however, proved to be quite an oddity, as the deceased harbor porpoise had two conjoined heads. ADVERTISEMENTThe images emerged online recently, which scientists confirmed to be a rare case of conjoined cetacean twins. The group confirmed that the porpoise was indeed a newborn and a male, the report said. Conjoined twins are a rarity for newborn humans, and is even more unusual for porpoises (Phocoena phocoena), Kompanje confirmed.
