Two-headed record attempt

Aug 17 2006 By The Journal

Aquarium officials in the US hope an exhibit that opens next week and runs until September 5 will earn a Guinness World Record for the most two-headed animals on display.

So far, the World Aquarium at the City Museum in St Louis has lined up 10 two-headed snakes and turtles, including "We," the aquarium's rare albino two-headed rat snake, the St Louis Post-Dispatch reported. The other nine animals are owned by a private owner.

And if a local reptile dealer with a two-headed snake adds his to the exhibit, the head count would rise to 22, the newspaper reported.
