A rare two-headed diamondback terrapin turtle is alive and kicking - with all six of its legs - in the US state of Massachusetts after hatching two weeks ago.
A threatened species in the state, the turtle is feeding well on blood worms and food pellets, staff at the Birdsey Cape Wildlife Center say.
The turtle's two heads operate independently, coming up for air at different times, and inside its shell are two gastrointestinal systems to feed both sides of its body.
The turtle originally came from a nest researchers determined was in a hazardous location and needed to be moved.
Chernobyl called. They want their #turtle back. #CapeCod

After hatching two weeks ago at the New England Wildlife Center (NEWC), the turtle was named 'Mary-Kate and Ashley' after the US acting and fashion designing Olsen twins.
"They've grown up to three inches now," Katrina Bergman, CEO at NEWC told The Boston Globe.
"They're eating and gaining weight.
"We were shocked that each head controlled three legs, and they were able to swim together, which was astonishing."
Veterinarians will continue to monitor the turtle in the coming weeks and are hoping to perform a CT scan to learn more about its circulatory system and internal organs.

Someone made a Toy Story, Squid Game CrossOver and it scares the Sid out of us
That someone is Mark Cannataro who is known for making some visually stunning FX videos. Like this one "Watch Grogroot" where Groot pops up to scare a super cute Baby Yoda, Grogroot is the best.
But there is something strangely disturbing about taking everyone's favourite living toys and putting them into the horrific first episode scene of the game of Red Light, Green Light that sets the tone for the entire season of Squid Game on Netflix.
"Sid Game"

Sid of course was the antagonist of the first Toy Story movie that was released way back in 1995. As if he wasn’t evil enough, this just takes him to the next level. Will Woody, Buzz, and the rest of the gang survive?
You have to watch the video to find out.
Even if you watch it through the gaps in your fingers as you try to shy away from the horror.
If you haven't been one of the people bingeing what has overtaken Bridgerton as the most-watched Netflix show of all time. Now might be the time to do some catch-up.
If it looks too scary, you could always go grab a Disney + subscription and rewatch Toy Story for the hundredth time, but I promise you Sid is just as freaky in that.

Fans speculate he's either packed on some COVID kilos or had plastic surgery, regardless it's not the Tom Cruise we remember.
On Saturday night, Tom Cruise appeared almost unrecognizable to fans, as he enjoyed Game 2 of the National League Division Series in San Francisco.
Sitting with his son Connor Cruise and smiling for pictures, many later took to social media to debate the Top Gun star's changing looks.
The actor has previously stated that he avoids drinking and smoking, and has never taken drugs, but his latest appearance sparked confusion over whether he's had cosmetic work done.
Twitter, as usual, didn’t hold back when it came to speculation around Tom’s face as one user speculated wildly: 'Tom Cruise has either gained weight, or he has a face full of fillers. I’m going with the fillers,' one person wrote.
Am I the only one who thinks this isn’t Tom Cruise but just some random dude who looks kind of like him? https://t.co/xhxI7ANCB6

Another added: 'This looks like someone wearing Tom Cruises face.' 'Gonna spend the rest of tonight and all of tomorrow wondering if some random dude convinced the Giants he was Tom Cruise' another social media user wrote. ‘Am I the only one who thinks this isn’t Tom Cruise but just some random dude who looks kind of like him?’ One queried.

One person joked: 'How many fillers did they pump in his face. It’s puffed up like the stay-puff marshmallow man'.

'Tom Cruise looks like my aunt now,' another quipped. While some on social media were quick to suggest that the actor had undergone plastic surgery , others attributed his appearance to weight gain or aging. 'Covid Weight,' one Twitter user wrote.

'Didn’t realize Tom Cruise had signed onto a Norm Macdonald biopic,' another added, while some just said they thought he looked 'creepy'.
Some fans also defended the actor, with one writing: 'I think Tom Cruise looks fantastic at 59'.
