Two-headed cobra snake born in China

A two-headed cobra snake was born in Jiujiang, Jiangxi province on July 29, 2009. Mr Liu, the owner who breeds snakes as a hobby, said he was amazed when he first saw the reptile. He had bought 10 snake eggs to hatch this May, and he found one of them had two heads when the cobras hatched out. He said the cobra was able to eat with both of its mouths simultaneously. A spokesman for the local wild animal protection centre said the two-headed snake was most likely the result of genetic mutation.
