At a very young age i spotted a picture in a book of an animal resembling a llama, but with two heads - one at each end. For a good few years i was convinced that this animal existed. I thought it was such a strange looking animal - that i was confused as to why nobody ever spoke about it. It was only when i began to learn the basic biology principles in school that i realised that maybe my Dad was right - it didn't exist!
