Authorities have been investigating environmental factors that could have created a trout with two heads.
Concerns that there could be something in the water in Southern Idaho have resulted in a review of the area by health and environmental authorities. The findings have spawned a war of words between a local mining company who commissioned the report and the Fish and Wildlife Service whose views on the presence of selenium in the water couldn't be any more different.
Does the existence of two-headed trout mean things are just fine in Southern Idaho's waterways? According to The New York Times, that's more or less the conclusion drawn by the J. R. Simplot mining company, which commissioned a study including photos of two-headed trout spawned from fish caught in Southern Idaho creeks.
