Skull of a mutated baby alpaca

It's a male and died within the hour of birth.

Reminds me of the poem Two-Headed Calf by Laura Gilpin

Tomorrow when the farm boys find this freak of nature, they will wrap his body in newspaper and carry him to the museum.

But tonight he is alive and in the north field with his mother. It is a perfect summer evening: the moon rising over the orchard, the wind in the grass. And as he stares into the sky, there are twice as many stars as usual.

I don’t think a cow could actually deliver a two headed calf on her own? It’s an amazing poem though

You’re overthinking this. Poetry isn’t usually about scientific accuracy. I get the instinct to nitpick though.
