Nature gone awry

I remember "THEM."
It's been 60 years so I would expect that the aberrations would be more common.

WOW!
very strange, and sad

Awful. I hope this is an aberration that does not repeat.
We will undoubtedly hear about radiation causing this. If more mutations and/or calf deformities are documented in the lagoons this year it will give
that theory some credence. Frightening to consider.

In our discussions with the lagoon staff, they mentioned a rumor that a 2 headed, 2 tailed calf was born but dismissed it as just a fabricated story
as they hadnt seen any photos...hahaha....so yesterday I brought the story to them and we were all pretty amazed.
We watched for a dead mom but didnt see any but we did come across what seemed to be a very sick whale that lifted it's head as it exhaled...it's
breathing was very laboured and it chortled when exhaling as if it had respiratory problems. It also was encrusted with barnacles on the right side of
the face which is unusual as generally that side of the head is clear of barnacles as they feed by dragging that side of the mouth through the mud on
the bottom which sloughs off the barnacles. At first I thought she may be in labor but she did not display the usual behavior of a whale having a baby
so most likely she was ill.

Given that Conjoined Humans (not to mention other animals) have been around throughout history Prior to the current Eco-Fad
concerns, WHY wouldn't we expect to encounter something like this ?
