WITH its otherworldly two heads, you might be forgiven for thinking the two-headed neon slug is an alien life form — but it’s actually just been discovered right here on earth.
Divers have revealed what they believe to be the first ever two-headed sea slug, and it’s a pretty weird-looking creature.
The nudibranch — a soft-bodied, marine gastropod mollusk — was discovered by a diver and a team of film-makers at Kapalai, a sandbar off the coast of Sabah in eastern Malaysian Borneo.
They found that, as well as having two heads, the slug also possesses both female and male sex organs, as all nudibranchs are hermaphrodites.
This particular slug measured around 2.5 cm long, but this species of psychedelic sea slug can grow up to 12 cm.
The discovery was made by the divemaster at Scuba Junkie, Nash Baiti.(SD-Agencies)
