Fisherman discovers first ever two-headed bull shark


Daily Mail

American scientists have confirmed the discovery of a two-headed bull shark foetus – believed to be the world’s first ever.

The single shark – with two heads – was found in the Gulf of Mexico, according to a study by Michigan State University and reported in the Journal of Fish Biology.

It was discovered by a fisherman when he opened the uterus of an adult shark in 2011, around a year after the Deepwater horizon oil spill, in the Gulf of Mexico.

While other species of sharks have been born with two heads – including blue sharks and tope sharks – this is the first record of it in a bull shark.

Bull sharks are one of only a few species of shark that attacks humans, and are also popular with fisherman, as they put up a ‘good fight’.

MRI scans of the shark revealed two distinct heads, hearts and stomachs. The rest of the body then rejoined to form a single tail
