Bob and Sid: The bicephalic squid?

Well not quite. In 2003 in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, scientists discovered what appeared to be a two headed squid. Upon dissection, they turned out to be a small squid (Sid) stuck inside a large one (Bob).

Bob’s organs were atrophied and shrivelled, meaning that Sid had been living there for a while prior to capture. 

The photos have recently been ressurected by The Octopus News Magazine Online.
