Scientists Baffled By Lion With Teeth Growing Out Of Its Forehead

The Idaho Department of Fish and Game says the teeth could be the remnants of a conjoined twin

Biologists said they had never seen anything like it when a mountain lion killed in the US state of Idaho was found with a set of fully formed teeth growing out of its forehead


A dead mountain lion has baffled biologists with its deformity.
When the big cat was legally shot in the US State of Idaho and presented to scientists, they said they had seen nothing like it.

The beast appeared to have a full set of teeth growing out of its forehead.
The Idaho Department of Fish and Game says the teeth could be the remnants of a conjoined twin which died in the womb, or possibly a kind of tumour.

The lion was shot after it tried to attack a dog.
The dog survived, but a hunter set off in pursuit and killed the big cat a few hours later.
It was required by law for a conservation officer to check the lion after it was shot.
The officer was shocked to find what appeared to be whiskers and teeth growing out of the big cat's forehead.
