When it comes to two-headed creatures, what is your first impression? I believe many people don’t believe it, thinking that it is something in science fiction stories, but it should be said that double-headed animal does exist in nature, and this symptom is also called "pineosis", a deformed disease. Although this situation is extremely rare, scientists who study and catalog animals have discovered quite a number of cases of polycephaly.
Some countries even use it as a symbol, such as Byzantine Empire , which is Eastern Roman Empire . Its logo is Double-headed Eagle . In some Western myths, two-headed creatures often appear. Today we will take a look at the two-headed creatures found in the world.
This first: double-headed sheep
Two-headed goats are quite common in the world. For example, in some areas of Africa, double-headed goats have appeared before, but they will bring bad luck to people. Therefore, they were killed as soon as they were born. In addition to Africa, two-headed goats also appeared in a remote village called Sakata in Kazakhstan. It is reported that it is connected by two skulls and is very healthy. Unfortunately, it was killed by its mother just two days after it was born.
In addition, a two-headed sheep appeared in our country a long time ago. Because this two-headed sheep could not feed on its own, the owner at that time bought a pacifier and fed it every day. According to him, when this two-headed sheep was hungry, its two-headed sheep would make noises, and when drinking milk, it would open its mouth and stick its tongue together. However, even if it was taken care of carefully, it would still die four days later.
Second: Two-headed turtle
We have seen turtle, but I don’t know if you have seen it? The most recent discovery of a two-headed turtle was Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, where a man named Davidson found a newly hatched two-headed turtle in a turtle nest. Because he had two heads, he couldn't move.
In addition, in San Antonio Zoo , there is also a double-headed sea turtle. This turtle was given two names, one is called Selma and the other is called Louise. According to zoo employees, Selma and Louise are different, but share the same body, which means they are twins , but they are not completely separated when they are born.
Third: Shuangtoutun
Shuangtoutun is much rarer than the first two. In 2017, a group of fishermen caught it in Dutch . Unfortunately, when people pulled it out of the water, the Shuangtoutun was dead. However, because it was too weird, people thought it was an unknown representative, so after taking a few photos, they threw it back into the sea.
Fourth: Double-headed pig
I believe everyone has seen this. This happened in 2015. On August 15 of that year, a resident in Diliubu Village, Xinkou Town, Xiqing District, Tianjin, gave birth to a strange pig with two heads and three ears. In addition, a double-headed pig also appeared in Chongqing, but the pig died after only three days of survival.
In addition, double-headed pigs have also appeared in the United States, Britain and Spain. Even after their deaths, these pigs were collected and preserved in museums.
Fifth: double-headed snake
I don’t know if you have heard of this. In the Nanning Zoo in Guangxi, my country, a double-headed snake once appeared. After observation by scientists, it was found that these two-headed snakes have their own brains, eyes, tongues, and even hearts. However, the stomach, digestive and reproductive systems are common, so they often fight.
In addition to this, there is also a two-headed snake in a zoo in Sri Lanka. However, unlike the previous one, although the two-headed snake can move and eat independently, it mainly relies on the right snake's head to control the body, while the left snake's head will follow.
The last two-headed cat
This is actually not common, but this kind of cat has a unified name, called the two-faced god. The reason why it is called the two-faced god is because in the Roman mythology, there is such a legend about cats. The latest report about the two-headed cat was 5 years ago, a two-headed cat appeared in Ohio . Unfortunately, the cat died after only 5 days of living.
According to reports, the longest-lived two-headed cat is Frank and Louis. They were born in 1999 and did not die until 2014. They lived for 15 years and maintained the Guinness World Record of similar cats.
So how do these double-headed births cause? According to some scientists, whether it is a double-headed sheep or a double-headed cat, this is because the fetus is affected by chemical substances or radioactive substances during the mother's pregnancy. Generally speaking, this malformation disease cannot survive long after birth and will die in a few days.
