Margaretha Hofmeyr, head of the Chelonian Biodiversity and
Conservation Program at the University of the Western Cape,
concurred that from the photo the juvenile two-headed animal
appears to be an angulate tortoise. The program she directs is
to study the diversity and biology of southern Africa's
chelonians (tortoises and turtles). The angulate tortoise seldom
grows bigger than 22 centimeters (eight or nine inches), and has
a lengthened straw-colored shell with somewhat raised shields
that are black in the middle and on the sides. The tortoise
evidently doesn't like to be picked up, and will often empty its
bladder on a human handler in what may be an attempt to defend
itself. - Stories About Animals and Nature From National
