This rare two-headed baby sea turtle was found in a nest at Edisto Beach State Park last week during a routine nest inventory. The loggerhead sea turtle was safely released into the ocean by trained volunteers. According to information posted via social media on July 24th by Edisto Beach State Park, the hatchling was found on July 21st by a volunteer sea turtle patrol during a nest count. The two-headed sea turtle is the result of “genetic mutation,” according to the post. The baby turtle was released safely into the ocean.
