The normal lamb had normal size and weight development. The malformed co-twin showed hind limbs with the pelvis, parts of male reproductive organs including testicles and prepuce, a short, malformed vertebral column with a short segment of spinal cord and short ribs, a short blind ending gut and fetal renal tissue.
