WOODBRIDGE, Va. –
A resident of Virginia found an unusual creature in her flowerbed: a two-headed copper-headed snake.
After the Woodbridge, Virginia, a woman discovered the unique snake earlier this month, he found himself in the hands of experts at the Wildlife Center of Virginia. There, the scientists performed x-rays to learn about the anatomy of the snake.
"It seems that the left head is more dominant – it is usually more active and sensitive to stimulants," wrote the wildlife center on its website. "The x-rays revealed that the two-headed snake has two tracheae (the left is more developed), two esophaguses (the more straight is more developed) and the two heads share a heart and a set of lungs."
It would be "better for the good chef to eat," said the organization, but they added that the more dominant left head could be a challenge.
In a Facebook post, J.D. Kleopfer, Department of Game and Inland Fisheries in Virginia, explained that two-headed snakes are rare in the wild, because they can hardly survive very long with two heads. Kleopfer added that the snake should be donated to a zoo.
