Two-headed sharks are actually a thing, and they’re apparently popping up more than ever, according to media reports.

Other sharks that give birth to live young have had instances of two-headed offspring in the past, the BBC said, but the image of this particular egg freaked people out, with some asking whether this was simply a hoax.
Apparently not. On Nov. 5, National Geographic published an article saying that not only do two-headed sharks really exist, there seem to be more and more instances of them on the record.
