Freak Calf Dies Soon after Birth Severe Snowstorm Causes Death Double-Headed Curiosity on Wyoming Farm
FREAK CALF DIES SOON AFTER BIRTH
Severe Snowstorm Causes Death Double-Headed Curiosity on Wyoming Farm.
LANDER, Wyo., April 15.
The recent snowstorm cost the life of a double-headed calf, the queerest freak ever born In this section of Wyoming.
This creature was born on the farm of William Steers on New York. It was still alive when found, but dying from
the effects of exposure.
The calf had two perfect mouths, each equipped with an abnormal set of teeth, and both opening into one throat.
Two sets of nostrils connected with a single windpipe. There were four perfect eyes and three ears, the extra ear
growing from the center of the forehead
When Steers found the creature it was evident that it had made a gallant struggle against the weather. He is of the
opinion that it would have survived had it been born at the ranch house, where it could have been cared
for properly.
The head of the freak has been brought to Lander for mounting

Finds Important Fossils in Wyoming Date: 1907-09-10; Paper: Olympia Record
FINDS IMPORTANT FOSSILS IN WYOMING
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Sept 10.
W. H. Heed, paleontologist of the University of Wyoming, has made several Important discoveries In "Hell's Half
Acre 35 miles southwest of Casper.
Among others is the complete skeleton of a horse, which was no larger than an ordinary fox of this age. The
skeleton demonstrates almost conclusively that Wyoming was the birth-place of the equine race.
Another fossil is perfect and is a replica of that of the beaver of the present day. The complete skeleton
of a dog of the aligocene tertiary age was dug up, the size of the animal not having differed from that of the
average dog of the present, but the long sharp teeth showing that the ancestor of the modern canines was
a great flesh eater and hunter.
Professor Reed dug from "Hell's Half Acre" the complete skull of a calf titanotherium, a monster that was extinct
probably a million years before
some of the oldest fossils hither to found were created. The newly discovered fossils are to be added to the
university museum.
