Two-headed fawn found in Minnesota forest shows rare wildlife deformity


A mushroom hunter's discovery of a conjoined white-tailed fawn in a Minnesota forest two years ago is being hailed by researchers as a landmark case among oddities in nature. "It’s never been described before," Lou Cornicelli, co-author of the study and a wildlife research manager for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, told FOX9. In two other previous cases of conjoined white-tailed deer fawns, neither made it through the full pregnancy. The hunter contacted the Minnesota DNR, and the fawns were frozen until a necropsy could be conducted. The conjoined fawns have since been mounted on a bed of greenery by Wild Images In Motion Taxidermy, and will now be positioned as it is just waking from a nap.
