MACCLENNY, Fla. (AP) — A two-headed calf was recently born on a farm in northern Florida.

Multiple news sources report the calf was born Sunday in Baker County. Dwight Crews, the owner of the farm says he hadn't seen one born in his more than 60 years of raising cattle.

Crews says the female calf has trouble standing up, but has been feeding from a bottle. While one mouth suckles, the other mouth moves.

Ripley's Believe It or Not has been in contact with Crews and says the longest a two-headed calf has survived is 40 days.
