Title:
Bicephaly, Two-Headed Mammals, 1622
Caption:
Polycephaly is a condition of having more than one head, and encompasses bicephaly and dicephaly (both referring to two-headedness). In medical terms these are all congenital cephalic disorders. Polycephalic animals often make local news headlines when found. Each head of a polycephalic animal has its own brain, and they somehow share control of the organs and limbs, though the specific structure of the connections varies.
