Northern Territory Parks and wildlife took to Facebook on Wednesday to share photos of the snake with 3 eyes - and their post has gone massively viral online.
BBC reports that the snake, a carpet python, was three-months-old when it was found in March.
Unfortunately, it died within weeks when it had been discovered. It was found on the arnhem main road, justout of Darwin.
"It's remarkable it was able to survive so long in the wild with its deformity, and he was struggling to feed before he died last week," ranger Ray Chatto told NT News.
According to Northern Territory Parks and wildlife, the third eye, which was also functioning, appeared to be a natural genetic mutation.
"The snake is peculiar as an x-ray revealedit was not 2 separate heads forgedtogether, rather it appeared to be one skullwith an additional eye socket and three
functioning eyes,"
