A tiny dinosaur-era reptile with two heads has been found in China—the first time the extremely rare developmental anomaly has been seen in a fossil.

The 120-million-year-old specimen is just 2.8 inches (7 centimeters) long and is a hatchling of a species of Choristodere, an extinct order of aquatic reptiles.

The heads look a little too perfect.

I just assumed that with it being that far off... it must be some sort of private joke...? I think it's more in the billions isn't it?

Cool! Can't blame that one on pesticides.

Shouldn't the first Siamese twin have been from Siam, not China?
