Talk about gobby! This little fellow has been born with FIVE mouths – believed to be the most ever seen on a calf.

The strange-looking baby opens all ten lips when he is sucking at his mother’s udders. But he can only take in milk through two of his mouths.

He is being fed three times a day at the dairy farm where he was born, in Narnaul, northern India.

Normal body: From the neck down the baby, who has been called Nandi, looks like any other calf

Dinner time: Nandi sucks from his mother’s udders with one of his mouths. She feeds him three times a day

Shocked locals have called the calf Nandi – a nickname for Lord Krishna. It can also mean ‘one who pleases others’.

In India’s Hindu culture, cows are revered as a symbol of life. Nandi is attracting a constant stream of visitors wanting to celebrate him.

Many of them kneel before him to pray and touch his hooves.

Local vet Sukhbir Singh said that despite Nandi’s appearance, he is healthy and thriving. But the calf’s two eyes are positioned in such a way on his distorted head that he can only see to his sides and can’t look in front of him. One eye is blue and the other black.

Other strange-looking bovine have been recorded in recent years, including a buffalo with three mouths and three eyes that was in in 2009, also in northern India, in 2009.

Last month a bull with two faces – one on top the other – was sold to an abattoir in Queensland, Australia.

The 440kg animal fetched around £300 in the auction at Mareeba Livestock Yard.

Two years ago, an American farm revealed it had a calf with two heads but only one brain.

Vets said the little heifer, in Whiting, Vermont, was meant to be a twin but the egg did not separate properly in the womb.

Each head mimicked the other, meaning when she was feeding with one of her mouths, her other mouth was sucking too.
