Two-headed DOLPHIN washes up on beach sparking fears of mutant sea life

MUTATED: The two-headed dolphin washed up on a beach in Turkey

The conjoined corpse was seen floating onto the shore in Izmir on Turkey’s west coast on Monday by a shocked sports teacher.

The dead beast was believed to be a baby, just 12 month’s old and measuring one metre in length.

Similar to conjoined twins the mammal had two heads but merged at the body and shared a tail.

Teacher Mr Metin, 39, said: “I noticed the dolphin in the sea and watched as it washed on to the beach.

REGULAR: A normal one-headed dolphin

“I couldn’t take it in at first – I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.

“I’ve never even heard about a dolphin like this let alone seen one with my own eyes. I was completely shocked.”

The astounded teacher called the police who took the dolphin away to a laboratory for further investigation.

Early reports said the eyes of one of the dolphin heads was not properly opened and neither was one of the blow holes.

Associate professor Mehmet Gokoglu from the marine-biology department at the Ak Deniz University said he welcomed the opportunity to study the strange dolphin adding: “Such a dolphin is a very rare occurance – similar to the occurance of conjoined human twins”.

Either this dolphin was just a regular, if rare, mutant or there’s something in the water..
