Patrol group finds two-headed newborn

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (AP) – A marine turtle monitoring group in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, has announced that it has found a two-headed newborn.

According to news agencies, the sea turtle patrol on Hilton Head Island said the newborn was found alive and thrown into the ocean.

Marine biologist Amber Kuehn, leader of the group, said that a genetic mutation had caused the second head of the turtle, since the name of Squirt and Crush.

The group shared a photo of the turtle on Facebook that showed the creature's small body partially overshadowed by a gloved hand. The post wished good luck to the turtle. Kuehn says that Crush and Squirt could not really swim because the heads controlled separate fins and did not work together.
