Riverhead, New York--No, you're not seeing double. The diamondback terrapin in this undated photo has two heads. The turtle was discovered on the beach in Nortport, New York, and put under the care of a veterinarian at Atlantis Marine World.

Getting the turtle to feed may prove the biggest obstacle as the two heads appear to operate independently, according to the aquarium. The IUCN lists the diamondback terrapin as a lower risk, near-threatened species.
