Population of two-headed sharks in our planet's ocean has dramatically increased over time as scientists report the increasing number of sightings of these horrific that seem to have swum outside an aquatic horror film.
The first record of human encounter with these mutant predators traces back to the year 2008 when a fisherman named Christian Johnson caught a blue shark embryo with twin-heads from the waters of Australia.
Despite the more frequent encounter with these creatures, sightings occur very far apart, making it increasingly challenging for researchers to uncover the root of mutation. Daily Mail says some scientist speculate that this genetic fiasco is brought about by men through over-fishing.
While the cause remains a mystery, the scientist has established that these predators suffer from a condition called bicephaly. Surprisingly, the condition that makes these frightening creatures even more terrifying is, in fact, lethal to them. Each animal head has a fully functional brain capable of the command of organs.
With both brains trying to fight for control, the two-headed predator moves in a disoriented pattern leaving the animal incapable of accomplishing anything at all. National Geographic reports that this disease when manifested in snakes causes the heads to attack each other and swallow the other head alive.
The current data available reveals that Blue sharks been found to produce the most number of two-headed babies among other as these shark species bear numerous offsprings at a time, with numbers ranging from 50 up until 70.
Spanish scientists also report the notable increase in the population of the Sawtail Catshark and are currently exerting efforts on breeding and raising the species for future research.
Whatever causes these mutations, scientist agrees that this phenomenon is Mother Nature's way of telling us that something is seriously wrong. We need to act now and act fast!
