Turtle from MN

Quote from the Science Museum of Minnesota: Although two-headed reptiles occur frequently in nature, they normally live for only a short time. “Emily” – its gender was never certainly determined – lived for 3 years and 10 months. It had separate spinal cords and stomachs. The two heads were combative, stealing food from each other and indecisive about which way to swim. The turtle(s) died when one head lodged in the shell and the left side, and presumably a second heart, died.
