Two-headed diamondback terrapin hatchling found at Cape Cod sanctuary

Volunteers working on a conservation project at Wellfleet Bay in Cape Cod discovered an extremely rare two-headed diamondback terrapin hatchling. The tiny creature weighs just 5.2 grams and displays a condition known as bicephaly, which is uncommon in reptiles. The hatchling is currently under veterinary supervision, with experts closely tracking its health and development. Scientists hope the find will open new avenues for research into this rare condition. The discovery also highlights continued conservation efforts to protect the diamondback terrapin, a species already considered at risk.
