And I thought I was lucky that time I found a four leaf clover.

There is a park near where I live that has a two-headed calf (dead and stuffed) as well as a one-eyed cyclops kitten. But my vote goes to the two-headed turtle. It’s kinda cute!

I showed my coworker and said, “oh look! He’s so cute! And he’ll never be lonely!” Coworker’s response, “yeah, but he’ll always have trouble making up his mind.”

How cool! I know snakes are sometimes born with two heads, but I didn’t know it happened with turtles too.

Rock on. Multitasking in nature. I wonder how much faster it can run now that it only has to concentrate on two legs at once… 😉

Reminds me of the time I found a 5 leaf clover. I ripped off one of the leaves so I could have a four leaf one. I kind of regreted it later…

**Wearia** , don’t regret it. 5-leafed clovers are supposed to be un-lucky!

I will admit that looking at those 2 headed animals bums me out a bit. I doubt they will be living a long and healthy life.
