Although rare, it is known for animals to be born with two heads. It has even happened to large farm animals such as two-headed cows, sheep and pigs. However, these animals normally only survive for a short time.
On the other hand, two headed reptiles have been known to live for as long as 20 years. There are a number of two headed snakes on display in zoos and even private residences around the world. As they share one body it doesn’t matter which head eats, but owners try to feed both heads so neither feels left out.
The World Aquarium in St Louis originally paid$15,000 for the two-headed rat snake.
