A two-headed dolphin has washed up on a beach in Turkey.

The conjoined body was found in Izmir on Turkey's west coast on Monday by sports teacher Tugrul Metin.

It is believed the calf was 12 months old and measured just 3.2ft in length.

According to the Daily Mail, Mr Metin said: "I noticed the dolphin in the sea and watched as it washed on to the beach.

"I couldn't take it in at first - I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me - I've never even heard about a dolphin like this let alone seen one with my own eyes - I was completely shocked."

Associate professor Mehmet Gokoglu from the marine-biology department at the Ak Deniz University described it as a "very rare occurrence".

It's not the first time something similar has been seen, however. Back in January, a two-headed baby gray whale reportedly washed up on a beach in Baja, California, reports Elite Daily.

Are all these 2 headed sea creatures caused by the fukushima leak?

I wonder how it survived 12 months?

They were probably arguing and neither one wanted to be the first to breathe.
