Nature does not believe in "every child born healthy." Birth defects are very common in nature. A very small proportion of them live long, thus furthering evolution. But mostly, these creatures die at young if not at birth.
Polycephaly, the condition of having two heads, affects a vast array of different animals, most notably cats and cattle.
Whilst some more serious cases can have a detrimental effect on the animal's health, cases like the cow shown in the photograph above will very often be considered to be more of a slight deformity and will often not affect the health of the animal.
