Photos of a two-headed African Spurred Tortoise are getting a lot of attention on the Internet Wednesday.
The DailyMail posted the photos and said the duo, born in Slovenia in November, have been given two names- Madga and Lenka.
The photos show the tortoise with five legs.
While the tortoise appears to be very tiny next to the fingers in the photo, the article said the African Spurred Tortoise adults can weigh 70 to 100 pounds.
