Two Headed Animals www.smm.org/explore/ ootm/2001-07.php "Emily" the two-headed snapping turtle This two-headed turtle's condition arose because of a misfunction or chemical accident during the early development of the embryo. Although not common, this type of embryological accident does occur fairly frequently in reptiles. Two-headed reptiles such as this one, however, would normally not survive in nature. The indecision arising from the two heads makes effective action, such as catching food or fleeing an enemy, impossible. Fortunately Emily, as this turtle came to be known, survived - through luck and the good fortune of being brought to the Science Museum where she received daily attention from then Biology Curator Dale Chelberg. On Thursday July 7, 1977, Emily's left side died when her neck became jammed in the shell. The next day, Friday the 8th, the right side died from toxins owing to lack of blood circulation. Today, Emily's preserved body is still popular with visitors. Stop by the museum's Collections Gallery and pay her a visit! This is a photograph of the rare two-headed rhinoceros, known by its scientific classification as Ceratotherium pushmepullyou. Two-headed rhinos such as this are regarded as sacred by many of the more superstitious tribes of Africa, whose native word for the beast roughly means “That which cannot empty its bowels in the savannah.” www.defenestrationmag.net/ visuals/cjones3.htm Two Headed Wolf animals.timduru.org/ dirlist/wolf/ You may visit my other Free Galleries by clicking the links below: Two Headed Animals: http://www.twoheads.20fr.com/ |
