Well, actually...
Two-headed attraction

NORRISTOWN, Pa. – A pet store has bought a

two-headed turtle from a collector and plans to keep it on display, the store manager said.

The 2-month-old turtle, a conjoined-twin red-eared slider, fits on a silver dollar. It has two heads sticking out from opposite ends of its shell, along with a pair of front feet. But there is just one set of back feet and one tail.

The turtle is apparently healthy, and the species can live 15 to 20 years, said Jay Jacoby, manager of Big Al’s Aquarium Supercenter. The same exotic-turtle collector sold another Big Al’s store a conjoined-twin turtle about 20 years ago.

4. It has a third side
Picture does not show it, but it's like a very wide letter 'Y' with the upper part being the two front ends and the lower part being the tail, as the article said:

"But there is just one set of back feet and one tail."

5. Your point is well taken.
I hope it's not lost on most of your respondents.

6. When it reaches turtle puberty, will it be a crimefighter, maybe named Leonardo?
Or, in this case, named Leonardo and Michelangelo? :rofl:
