A two-headed sea turtle embryo: a rare occurrence of polycephaly
Sometimes nature doesn’t always get everything right! The ORP team at Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu recently discovered a green sea turtle embryo with a very unusual abnormality during a routine excavation of a hatched turtle nest: a two-headed individual. The embryo had sadly died within its egg and never hatched, but that didn’t stop it from giving us all a huge surprise. The experience also served as an interesting reminder of the intrigues of the natural world.
