Rare Two Headed Snake

· Filed under Animals

This is a rare two headed snake found by a farmer in a village in Alicante, Spain. The snake seems to be able to use both of its heads at the same time and Spanish scientists are still studying if the snake has two separate digestive tracts and if a head dominate the other. The chances of a two headed snake surviving in the wild is very slim as both would often fight over which head will swallow the prey as well as difficulty in deciding which direction to go.

   This is a California kingsnake (Lampropeltis getula californiae) and not the two-headed snake that was found in Spain (Rhinechis scalaris), which died after a few months in captivity. The photos possibly depict the snake currently aklive in the San Diego Zoo.

   I think that is true because in Uganda a mother gave birth to twins, and one was a snake.
