They do say two heads are better than one, but workers at a turtle farm in the U.S. had never before seen anything like this.
A two-headed snapping turtle has been discovered at the Northeast Ark Turtle Farm, in Amagon, Arkansas, in a shipment of 30,000 of the reptiles shipped from China.
The baby turtle is yet to be named, but representatives at the farm have confirmed they will be looking for a new home for the young reptile.
The baby turtle was discovered at the farm last week, according to The Jonesboro Sun.
A state biologist has said turtle mutations are rare, but are becoming more common.
Workers at the farm have previously discovered a hatchling with one neck and two heads, but that died at birth.
