Turtle

Maine: A woman in Maine came across a two-headed baby snapping turtle that was trying to cross the road.

Kathleen Talbot from Hudson found the tiny creature last week while she was watching turtle hatchlings to make sure they arrived safely at the other side of the street.

She noticed one of the turtles had been left behind. It was so dirty that she thought it had two feet in front.

It wasn't until she got home and washed off the turtle that she realised it had two heads.

The turtle fits into the palm of her hand. She has named ‘them' Frank and Stein.
