Janus is a great and appropriate name for this very cute tortoise.

But don’t two-headed animals deserve two separate names? Conjoined human twins, even the rare ones who share a single central body, generally get separate names.

Proving the link to the Reuters article you quote would be most helpful.

Sure, you could argue that, but I think naming the turtle after the god who is always depicted as having two faces is very appropriate.

Since each head has its own brain, does this make the tortoise a combined 50 years old?

Came here for this. :grin:

Of course, you could always ask him…
