This two-headed red slider turtle was given to Big Al’s Aquarium Supercenter in East Norriton after it turned up at a reptile center in Pennsylvania. As you can see, the animal has two head on the opposite sides of a single shell, as well as six legs and a combined tail.

“The two heads seem to have their own thoughts, operating independently,” said Jay Jacobi, exotic reptile manager of the aquarium. “But sometimes they seem to put their two heads together and move in the same direction, feed together, walk together.”

The store employees are trying to come up with a name for this rare pet. So far they have come up with the names of Gemini, Blinky, and Limerick. The second name belonged to the radioactive fish in an episode of The Simpsons. The third belongs to a nuclear plant in the region.

This picture strikes me as something I would read about in a Stephen King novel. An eleven year-old boy shoots and kills a monster pig with a .50 caliber pistol, after a three hour chase which ended in a point-blank shot. If I didn’t see the picture, I wouldn’t have believed it.

Can you imagine finding one of these things in your garden? This Cane toad was found in a pond outside the northern city of Darwin, Australia. Weighing in at nearly 2 pounds and measuring 15 inches long, this is the largest specimen ever caught.

Australia imported the toads from South America during the 1930s in an effort to control the beetles that were ravaging their northern sugar can plantations. The attempt to control the beetles not only failed but brought more disaster. Cane toads emit a toxic poison that has killed millions of Australia’s wildlife, including snakes and small crocodiles.

A team called Frogwatch is trying to eradicate them with a liquid fertilizer process that will render them nontoxic before they are killed.
