A Chinese farmer was shocked when he came across a two-headed snake slithering in his yard in Hebei, China.

Shenzhou, the farmer, said he found the two-headed snake in his home on October 21, 2019, when he was walking in his yard.

The incident happened in Hebei, a northern province in China, which is located near Beijing.

Shenzhou said he captured the 2-headed snake and placed in a pot so other people and authorities could check the snake out.

When Shenzhou went to call on other farmers, he left the snake alone in the pot, and a kid came and knocked it over, allowing the snake to slither away.

Shenzhou came back with people, but the snake had escaped and was gone.

Luckily, Shenzhou captured a video of the two-headed snake.

The video that was captured by Shenzhou was shared by People’s Daily China on their Twitter page, and it went viral right away.

Unfortunately, two-headed snakes do not really do well in the wild. This is due to their slow speed and because 2 snakes are controlling one body.

Snakes that are born with 2 heads only survive in captivity, where officials and vets feed them properly and allow them to stay away from predators.
