| Cephalopagus Conjoined Twins in a Leopard Cat (_Prionailurus bengalensis_) | |
| 2008 Journal of Wildlife Diseases (44): 177-180 | |
Case reports of conjoined twins (''Siamese twins'') in wild mammals are scarce. Most published reports of conjoined twins in mammals concern cases in man and domestic mammals. This article describes a case of cephalopagus conjoined twins in a leopard cat (_Prionailurus bengalensis_) collected on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia, in the period 1873-76. A review of known cases of conjoined twinning in wild mammals is given. |
