diamondback terrapin

A rare two-headed diamondback terrapin hatchling has been found on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The tiny turtle, discovered at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, has two heads and six legs, a condition known as bicephaly. Wildlife staff are monitoring the hatchling, which faces long survival odds in the wild. Unusual animal finds like this draw wide attention because such deformities are extremely rare among wild turtles.
