Rare Snake Found In Odisha With Two Fully Shaped Heads Look out

A rare wolf snake has recently been discovered in Odisha, with two fully formed heads. Startling video posted by Indian Forest Services officer Susanta Nanda on Twitter depicts the two-headed snake slithering on the ground.

The non-venomous wolf snake, according to The Mirror, has two completely developed heads which means it has four functioning eyes and two tongues, but only one body. The two heads work remarkably differently from each other-which also means they have been spotted competing for food.

"A rare wolf snake was rescued from a house in the Keonjhar district of Odisha's Dehnkikote Forrest range with two fully shaped heads," Mr Nanda wrote while sharing a video of the snake. He added the reptile was subsequently released into the wood.

The two-headed snake video has generated tremendous online interest. It was posted on Twitter more than 15,000 times, attracting many shocked and interested reactions.

"One of the two heads is slightly more evolved and both are known to fight for food," photographer Rakesh Mohalick said in The Mirror's quote. It was Mr Mohalick who discovered the snake. He added that the two separately functioning heads would make it more difficult for the reptile to survive in wildlife.

Though uncommon, instances of two-headed snakes are not unheard of. Another snake was discovered in the US last year, with two completely shaped heads. The people who discovered it have named it Double Dave.
