Well i bet he would have loved these.

A tortoise has been born in Zilina, Slovakia with two heads and five legs.

According to zoologists, the unique case is comparable to what happens when Siamese twins are born.

The animal, which has been named Magdalena, also has two brains that work independently from each other.

But having two heads and five legs can be a burden, according to her owner Roman Gresak. He said: "The second head sometimes doesn't allow the tortoise to know where to go".

Magdalena would not be able to survive in the wild because other tortoises would exclude her from their collective.

Two brains? That's just kickass. I wonder if they ever have any internal arguments about what to do.

Zilina, Slovakia must be downwind from a nuclear reactor or something.

That's pretty weird. It's a shame that the tortoise wouldn't survive in the wild. Do you reckon it has any kind of arguments between the two brains?

Brain 1: Go left.
Brain 2: No, go right.
Brain 1: No, left.
Brain 2: I want to go right!
Brain 1: LEFT!
Brain 2: RIGHT!
