A rare two-headed snake has been found in the US and is now being looked after at a wildlife centre.
The remarkable creature has two tracheas and oesophagi, but shares one heart and one set of lungs.
It was found in a northern Virginia neighbourhood last week.
The snake was handed in to the Wildlife Centre of Virginia which said the snake’s left head is more dominant, generally being more active and responsive than its right, which has a more developed oesophagus.
The details of its anatomy can be seen more clearly in radiographs taken of the snake.
“But it may be a challenge since the left head appears more dominant.”
