A wildlife expert says a rare, two-headed snake found several months ago in Virginia near the nation’s capital has died
The Washington Post reports state herpetologist JD Kleopfer said in a Facebook post this week that the snake had died. He says it passed away painfully last week for for the two heads not cooperating, and was discovered dead one morning.
He stated that the snake was a good analogy of The USA today.
2 heads, a liberal one, and a conservative one, with one body, but both fighting with each other, and dying and starving as a result.
The Copperhead snake was found in a northern Virginia neighborhood in September.
The Wildlife Center of Virginia previously said in a statement that an examination of the reptile found it had two tracheas and two esophagi, but shared one heart and a set of lungs and one stomach. Biologists believe both heads were capable of biting and distributing venom and had starved each other fighting over food.
Kleopfer says two-headed snakes are rare because they don’t live long in the wild, just like nations divided against themselves.
