Harry Coumnas – Discovered a Two-Headed Harbor Porpoise
On the falling of an apple from a tree, Sir Isaac Newton wondered why? And, he probably didn’t expect the answer to extremely change how we understand the world. This is what science is all about, and sometimes, the questions and the explanations for them are spectacularly odd. There are a number of strangest scientific discoveries, ranging from two-headed worms to a pig-human hybrid and more. There are several scientists that have made many other weird discoveries. And one such scientist is Harry Coumnas who is known for his strange discoveries. Recently, he marked ten years since an amazing discovery of a two-headed harbor porpoise that took the world by surprise.
This was Harry Coumnas’ fifth case of conjoined twins among all cetaceans. These are also known as whales and dolphins, and were also discovered by fishermen off the coast of the Netherlands. But, they tossed it back into the ocean as they thought it would be illegal to keep those strange creatures outside.
One good thing the fishermen did was that they took a few pictures of those cetaceans. Later on, Harry Coumnas during his research process used those pictures for carefully examining and reporting on them. He also came to know that both the creatures were males and they died shortly after birth. The reason behind this was that their tail was not stiff, which is a important to be developed as it allows them to swim.
A few years later, Harry again found a pair of conjoined grey whale calves in Mexico, which also didn’t survive due to the same reason. Therefore, he concluded that these conjoined cetaceans in particular have a low chance of survival because it is almost impossible for them to reach the water’s surface and take a breath with a sibling attached.
