Conjoined dolphin
Turkish media reports say Turkish scientists will examine a two-headed dolphin that washed up on a beach in western Turkey, reports Fox News.
The private Dogan news agency said the remains of conjoined dolphin calf were discovered on a beach in Dikili, near the Aegean city of Izmir last week by a vacationing gym teacher.
It quoted Akdeniz University marine biologist Mehmet Gokoglu as saying the dolphin was a rare occurrence, similar to conjoined twins.
Marine biologists at Akdeniz University will study the dolphin.

Aggressive dolphin
A bottlenose dolphin has "aggressively" pushed a man underwater off the County Cork coast, according to a report made to the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group, reports the BBC.
The report stated that the dolphin attacked the man twice and "lashed out with its tail", during the incident off Sherkin Island about two weeks ago.
It prompted the IWDG to repeat warnings that swimmers should be extremely cautious if interacting with dolphins.
The dolphin, known as Clet, is a new visitor to Irish waters this year.
