Zheng Tuxiu is a retired civil servant living in Changan Town, Rongan District, Guangxi Autonomous Region, China. Recently his cat spotted a snake with 4 legs and about 1.2 m long. But what surprised Zheng the most was that it had two heads, People Daily said.

Many people in the area rushed to Zheng's house to see the snake after the news. Everyone says they have never seen such an animal.

This is not the first time that Chinese people have discovered two snakes. In August last year, a railway worker in Jiangxi Province saw cobra with two heads and four eyes when incubating a solid nest. When eating it uses both mouth simultaneously to swallow. A spokesman for the local wildlife protection center said the two-headed snakes were the result of gene mutation.
