A two-headed baby turtle has been found on a beach - the second sighting of one in the past few weeks.
The Cape Hatteras National Seashore Facebook page posted a video after the little sea creature was found at a North Carolina beach.
The tiny turtle was found during a nest excavation on Hatteras Island.
Biological technician Will Thompson says it is not the only two-headed turtle that has been found and they are more common than we think.
"Overall, genetic deformities of sea turtle hatchlings at Cape Hatteras National Seashore and around the world are common," Thompson said.
"We see deformities each year at select nest sites on the Seashore upon nest excavation."
He confirmed the animal did not appear to be in distress.
Thompson said the hatchling looked to be healthy and was released safely into the ocean.
It was the second time in a few weeks that a double-headed turtle has been seen in America.
There was also a discovery made at Edisto Beach State Park on Edisto Island in South Carolina.
South Carolina State Parks said in a statement on Facebook how patrols dig into turtle nests three to five days after they emerge to determine the success of the nest.
They will count the hatchlings that have emerged from their shells and those that have died to assess the likelihood of the nest breeding as much as it should.
As they dug into one nest, they found three live hatchlings, according to the statement, but one of them "stood out".
It reads: "While performing an inventory this past Wednesday, patrollers and volunteers found three alive loggerhead sea turtle hatchlings still in the chamber, but one hatchling in particular stood out because it had two heads!
"Other two-headed hatchlings have been found in South Carolina in past years, but this is a first for the patrol team at Edisto Beach State Park.
"After a few photos, this hatchling, along with the two others found, were released into the ocean."
The three turtles were released back into the ocean once the group took the time to immortalise the moment.
