A snake with two heads has been spotted in the Netherlands.
A slithery reptile suffering with the condition polycephaly, which sees animals and humans conjoin, has been discovered by wildlife photographer Matthijs Kuijpers in Amsterdam, the Daily Star Online has reported.
And the male - who has previously kept and bred his own snakes when she was a child - has admitted it was the "first ever" time he has seen a two-headed animal.
Speaking about the discovery, he said: "I photograph wildlife all over the world and this is the first ever live two-headed snake I have photographed.
"People find it crazy as well. Kids especially love them.
"The two heads are a mistake of nature, known as polycephaly."
But Matthijs has revealed due to the creatures disease they will sometimes fight over the same prey.
He explained: "Both heads fee sometimes they even fight for the same prey.
"They only get in a dispute when there is food involved and on all other occasions they seem to get along pretty well."

A black fox with a white tipped tail was often on our property here in Colorado about five years ago.

I used to have a six legged chicken. I worked in a chicken hatchery and saw lots of weird things.

Plenty of them can be found in the U.S. Congress...on both sides of the aisle.They are all snakes, and more two headed (RINOS) among Republicans.

OMG!! That poor little creature has problems enough without the name ClinToon attached to it not to mention Putin too.
Have a heart. Why heap such insult upon the critter?
Have you no shame?

Wow, that sounds like some kind of Halloween monster bug! (Was it glowing?)
With all that testing they're doing these days in North Korea, I bet they have some weird creatures over there too.

I used to have that one on my wall. It and the elephant graveyard were my favorite Far Sides.
