Two Headed Antelope Lives Normal Life in Zoo


Born three years ago and not brought before the public's scrutinizing eye until just recently, Bippo the two headed antelope is doing well adjusting to life among other animals at the National Zoo of China. Born with two heads but just one body, Bippo spends her days as any other antelope would. “She has two heads, one in the normal spot and the other growing out of her backside” said Mai Ewe, head caretaker for the odd animal. “You never honestly know whether she’s coming or going except for the anus at the bottom of one of her necks.” Scientists were dumbfounded that Bippo had survived the birth let alone live for three years but she seems to be healthy and strong. “We could see her living a full life.” But visitors on the other hand are generally disgusted by the animal. They see her as an atrocity and many petitions have been produced requesting that she be put down. For now the zoo officials have no plans for Bippo other than to let her enjoy her life.
