Strange turtle with two heads found in Florida


A strange turtle with two heads have been found by the University of Central Florida’s Marine Turtle Research group.

“We see odd things like this on occasion, and it isn’t something out of the ordinary. It is rare but does occur. The turtle was very active and was released,” said Kate Mansfield from the Department of Biology.

Mansfield is a marine biologist who heads the group, and said, “We often find hatchling stragglers and this was one of them. We always release the stragglers. It is rare to find a two-headed turtle but not unheard of. We see a number of developmental anomalies each year.”
