Two headed turtle found in Brevard County

BREVARD COUNTY, FL — During its research last week, the University of Central Florida’s Marine Turtle Research Group found a two-headed turtle.

Researchers said the two-headed loggerhead turtle appeared to be healthy, and was released into the ocean.

Three days after the turtles hatch, the UCF group excavates nests to determine how many sea turtles were born, how many eggs were laid, and to release straggler turtles into the ocean.

The group said, this isn’t the first two-headed turtle they’ve found, but they are extremely uncommon.
