This two-headed loggerhead sea #turtle is a popular specimen in our teaching collection. In this #CTScan of the tiny turtle, we can see the conjoined twins share a pelvis, limbs, and a 'shell' but have separate spines and heads. Because of the dangerous lives of baby turtles, this little loggerhead wouldn't have survived long in the ocean.
