"During the (fifteenth) delivery, I saw two heads and thought it was the normal twins coming together, but unfortunately after delivery the heads were intact," Ngumbao said.

He asked the Agriculture ministry to rescue the animal.

Kilifi Agriculture chief officer Baha Nguma reassured the farmer, saying "this incident may seem to be new to you, but it has been happening in other parts of the country and the world."
