Pro move, honestly. Otherwise it can be really hard telling which of your twins is which.

That's honestly cool - not cool she was killed, that is tragic. But personally I'd have been thrilled to get a variety pack like that, nature is so interesting and they'd both be my kids regardless of who fathered them.

I thought twins were always split from the same egg. Great and my only news source for learning, shit posts.
I think that's just identical twins, but fraternal twins are two separate eggs being fertilized, which is how you can have twins of different sexes
The concept of "twins" is far older than any knowledge of eggs (in mammals) and sperm cells. Two babies come out at the same time, language decided to call those twins.
Eggs "(in mammals)" as opposed to what other thing in other animal groups?
Eggs in non-mammals? Like, notably, chicken eggs?
Ah I get what you mean now, I kept thinking which animals do not have eggs but do get twins...
Heh, I added that because I KNOW if I hadn't and just said "eggs" (or even "egg cells"), some smartass would've come along like "what, they didn't know what this 🥚🥚🐣 is?" You just CANNOT win with the internet ;D

What's the cut-off for "nature"? I mean, it's not like DNA tests grow wild on the PCR plains, and it seems to me that the DNA test was the "tattle tale".
I thought the same thing for about 3 seconds. Look at the photo. There is a natural dead giveaway that these two babies don't have the same dad.

Don't know if humans work that way but cats do.
Damn Zeus and his macanation
I've seen a few of these Maury Povich Show episodes.
