A tiny baby gecko born with two heads and six legs was considered a lucky find for three men living in Patong, Thailand, since many Thais regard deformed animals as supernatural that might provide clues for winning lottery numbers, according to The Phuket News in Thailand.
“When my brother found it…one of its heads was still covered with eggshell,” one of the men, Ratchapol Pangsri, told The Phuket News. “It’s very small—about the length of a baby’s finger—and it was very weak.”
But since the men began feeding it ants and little bugs, “it looks much healthier now,” Pangsri said.
GeoBeats has the fascinating story about the find:
A gecko expert told The Phuket News that the discovery was “very unusual,” and that house geckos typically live about a year. “But I’m not sure about this one because it’s deformed,” Dr. Sansareeya Wangkulangkul told the paper.
The gecko is being kept in a green plastic bowl, and, if The Phuket News is accurate, will be examined closely for any clues about those winning lottery numbers.
We suspect numbers 2 and 6 will be among them.
