Two-headed Turtle Found in Philadelphia

A rare two-headed turtle captured by a turtle collector was bought by a pet store and is now on display. This two-headed turtle is a rare example of a conjoined-twin birth, its owner said.

The 2-month-old turtle, known as a red-eared slider, fits on a silver dollar. It has two heads sticking out from opposite ends of its shell, along with a pair of front feet on each side. But there is just one set of back feet and one tail.

The turtle is seemingly healthy, and the species can live 15 to 20 years, Jacoby said. The turtle has not yet been named.
