Snake born with two heads, two brains … still doesn’t talk

A freak snake was born with two heads. And it has quite a time dealing with its two brains.

From this article:

KIEV — A snake with two heads, each able to think and eat separately and even steal food from each other, has become a popular attraction at a Ukrainian zoo.

The small albino California Kingsnake, now on show in the Black Sea resort of Yalta is quite a handful, zoo workers told AFP.

The snake’s two heads are fiercely independent, are not always in agreement and like to snatch food from each other, said keepers of the private zoo, called Skazka, or Fairy Tale.

“Sometimes one head wants to crawl in one direction and the other head in another direction,” zoo director Oleg Zubkov told AFP.

Zoo worker Ruslan Yakovenko added that he tries to feed the snake’s two heads separately as they sometimes fight for food.

Even with two brains, the snake has proven incapable of speech.

They just don’t make snakes like they used to.

I’m not sure you could ever prepare yourself for this cuteness explosion

A friend of mine sent me a web site called, “Zoo Borns; The Newest and Cutest Exotic Baby Animals from Zoos and Aquariums around the World!” It takes very little to tittle my tattle when baby animals are involved. I love ‘em, and Tina’s love for them makes me love them even more.

When Tina squeals after seeing a baby animal of some kind, it melts my heart. Well, these shots are going to melt yours:

Go check the site (link above) when you get a chance. The first one should show just how closely our little primate monkey children resemble … erhm … little primate children.
