Experts who examined the baby beast, found off the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, confirmed it was indeed a double-header and not conjoined using X-rays.we cast our net out over the freaky pond that is the web in search of two-faced, two-headed and twice-as-odd beasts.

The Cat

Meet Frank and Louie: One cat with two faces and their own Guinness World Record.

The Piglet

 

Rudy, the two-headed pig, stands in the grass on the farm of Scott and Vicki Vorwald, in Iowa, US. Rudy was sold to the Los Angeles-based animal rescue organization "Pigs Without Partners" in late March 1998. Most two-headed pigs are stillborn or die shortly after birth.

This extremely rare tortoise was discovered in the Western Cape. Experts reckon it might have been the product of a genetic deviation during the development of the embryo.
