A seemingly healthy two-headed baby goat suffered a gruesome death after fate cruelly intervened just days after it had been born on a farm in Kazakhstan.

The video of the kid – shot in remote village Asyk-Ata – shows it has two distinct heads joined along the skull and appears to be healthy in every other way.

But it died just days later after its mother trampled it to death ‘out of fear’, despite previously allowing it to feed from her

Farmer Galymzhan Uteuliev explained: “I was shocked when I saw it for the first time.

“I’d never seen anything like this before.

“Each head seemed to work independently and they both had their own different grunts.”

Vets say the mutation was probably caused by a genetic imbalance due to cross-breeding with closely related goats.

Uteuliev added: “There are very few male goats in the area, so there is a strong chance that the mother and father are closely related.”

But before the farmer could decide what to do about the freakish kid, nature intervened and its mother trampled it do death in her stall.

He said: “Its mother was scared of it and eventually killed it herself by trampling over it.

“It seems very cruel but it would probably not have lived much longer.”
