Description
morning all :o)
something different today .whilst in blackpool we a visited a museum called ripleys .there are 64 attractions in 11 countries so i dare say someone else has been to see these oddities that are showcased .i actually found the place very interesting and we spent well over an hour in here even though its quite small .the shot was taken through glass and did`nt turn out to bad :o)..
the sign reads
the two headed calf
Robert Ripley relished collecting what he called "pranks of nature".once considered an omen of disaster .most animals born with 2 heads or multiple limbs ,are stillborn or like this one die within a few hors after birth.
an autopsy of this calf born in california in 1970 revealed that each head had a normal trachea and esophagus ,but they each led to only one lung.
believe it or not !
i have`nt covered this as ashleigh was`nt upset by any of the things in here and i`ve judged on that .
have a good day and thanks for looking and your continued support

How sad. I was watching TV and a family that raised a two headed pig. It lived for about three years. Unique shot Mick!
