Two-Headed Turtle Hatches at U.S. Zoo
2013-06-28
[An Nahar] A two-headed turtle has hatched at the San Antonio Zoo and officials have named her Thelma and Louise.

The female Texas cooter arrived June 18 and will go on display Thursday at the zoo's Friedrich Aquarium.

Zoo spokeswoman Debbie Rios-Vanskike said Wednesday that the two-headed turtle appears healthy and is able to swim and walk. She says experts at the zoo don't foresee any health issues for Thelma and Louise, named for the female duo in the 1991 Oscar-winning road movie of the same name.

#2  What foolishness do we today record with all due gravity, that will look as mad to posterity as the Roman obsession with carefully recording these sorts of freak births as if they were important looks like to us?

Assuming there is any posterity to make mock of their lunatic forebears.
