New Zealand is a country well-known for its love of sheep... now it's birthing healthy lambs with two heads!

The lamb was born four days ago at the Slope Point Backpackers Accomodation in Invercargill and has been named... wait for it... "Two Face".

According to the New Zealand Herald, the property owner Justine Parker saw the mother giving birth alone and "the lamb actually fell into the creek" and needed to be saved.

"I thought: 'Oh, the back of his head looks a bit strange'. And I turned it round and wow. I just thought: 'Heck, what's this'?" she told the NZ Herald.

BuzzFeed spoke to Ms Parker by phone on Tuesday, who said life is back to normal though and she's been busy on the property since the birth last week.
