Anchorage Daily News | Two-headed moose fetus shocks Native community, baffles biologists We're going to try to explain it and do good science and get back to the community," Simon said. "As far as we know, the scientific literature has no reports of two-headed moose, so now we're trying to beat the bushes for tribal communities to see whether it's been reported in the North."
A Nenana man shot the cow moose on Feb. 3 for the funeral potlatch of elder Hester Evan and discovered the fetus while field dressing the carcass, according to Jack Irwin, first chief of the Nenana Native Council.
Though a fetus taken during a ceremonial winter hunt is traditionally salvaged with the cow, the man was shocked and initially tossed it away, Irwin said
