Scientists call the condition when a snake has more than one head polycephaly. This happens in different animals.

In the US state of Nebraska, 45-year-old Joshua Marshall, while clearing logs, discovered a rare snake with two heads. Express reports.

“The reptile looks normal except for the two heads. I have no idea where it came from,” he commented.

After that, the man took the snake and put it in a jar, and then showed it to the expert. Professor Dennis Ferraro of the University of Nebraska emphasized how rare two-headed mutants are.

“This mutation occurs in about one in 100,000 garter snakes. This rare creature is lucky to have survived,” the scientist said.

Also, according to the professor, the second head is usually caused by a genetic mutation or an incorrect code during embryonic development. In this case, the twins were originally supposed to be born, but at some point they stopped dividing.

“If one head doesn’t quickly dominate and the other just follows, the snake is likely to die because it can’t hunt or avoid predators,” he said.

It was previously reported that video blogger and snake lover Allen Pan has created a robotic exoskeleton for reptiles.

A large snake skin was found on the banks of the Thames
