Two Headed Shark
 |
A fisherman off the coast of the Florida Keys had a shocking suprise when he caught a two-headed bull shark. He kept the shark and shared it with scientists for research. Though this can happen in animals and humans, this is only one in six recorded cases that this has happened to a shark. This deformity happens when the egg tries to split in half to form twins, but never splits all of the way, creating a muttation. According to the scientists, this shark would not have lasted long anyway considering that sharks need to be fast and having two heads would not aid in speed. Also, most of it's growing energy had gone into having two heads, so the rest of it's body was stunted.
Personally, I think that this is cool, but also sad that the shark had to die. It is scary to think that two headed sharks exist and are out there in the deep blue sea waiting for their next victims. I just hope that I never ever ever come across a shark, whether two-headed or not.
