It's been a while since we've had a decent two-headed animal on these pages. So, without further ado, we proudly present… the two-headed lizard.The two-headed bobtail (a type of skink native to Australia, also known as the Shingleback) was rescued in Coogee, New South Wales, by workers from a reptile park.
Now housed at the reptile park in Henley Brook, Perth, it's doing well - despite the fact that two-headed lizards tend to not have very long life expectancies.
The lizard - which doesn't just have two heads, but has a set of forelegs on either side of each head - is even able to eat with both mouths.
The major downside of having two heads is that it makes moving around quite difficult, and the larger of the two heads has a tendency to try and attack the smaller head.
The bobtail's brother, who has just the one head, is also housed at the park.
You should really get your facts straight. The two-headed bobtail goanna was found in COOGEE, PERTH WA not in New South Wales.
its a shingle back skink closly related to the blur tongue skink not a bobtail goanna
