Medics are caring for an abandoned two-headed baby dumped in an irrigation ditch by his mother.
Police in Hanzhuang, central China, found the hours-old infant after reports of a baby crying in the middle of the night.
Doctors say the tot has one fully formed head and another, smaller, head with only partially formed features.
The second head includes eyes, a nose, mouth and ears but has no body.
Carer Yuan Xianrong - in charge of the baby's well-being until his mum is found - said: "He is completely healthy except for his two heads. It's too early to talk about surgery yet.
"But it is amazing that he survived after being dumped in the ditch. It was filled with rubbish and mud and old water.
"When officers picked him up they at first did not realise he had the defamation and thought it was just rubbish stuck to the child - then they realised that the baby had the deformation and took him straight to the hospital."
Local officials are trying to find the mother.

"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
