A calf who wears his heart on his head has become a celebrity in Japan.

The Friesian bull calf was born with a perfect heart shape on his forehead just in time for Valentine's day.

Kazunori Yamazaki, the owner of the dairy, said that it was not rare to find calves born with various patterns but he had never seen one like this.

Mr Yamazaki is looking for a good home for the baby and is hoping someone will buy him to present to their loved one as a unusal romantic gift.

Anyone who takes the calf on as a pet should be warned he is likely to grow to almost a tonne in weight.
