Animal Oddities

One such case was this litter of eight babies, and one half-grown rabbit which were unearthed on Mr Pat Hill's property, at Patutahi. Pictured with them is Rabbit Board inspector Mr C. T. Denton, who later had to have the cute little fellows destroyed.

Pick of the freak lambs born this season was this Siamese twins model, which was born on Nicks Head Station last month. Found by Chris Hawley, it had two heads and two bodies joined together to half-way down its back. It appeared to have only one stomach, and had to be destroyed.
