These lovely conjoined tortoises are on exhibit in Kyiv, Ukraine. From the Los Angeles Times:

Dmitry Tkachev, who organized the Kyiv exhibition where the tortoise is on display, told Russian state media that the two heads cannot see each other.

“Each has its own character, so they often want to crawl in different directions,” he explained to Ria Novosti, the Russian international news agency.
