Watch: ‘Two Heads, Three Eyes And Weird Skin Creature’ Has Sent Internet Into Tizzy

Darpan News Desk IANS, 28 Mar, 2017 12:52 PM
    Lujan Eroles is a Spanish woman and her month-old Facebook post has sent the social media world into a tizzy. The woman has uploaded videos of what seems like a small, stout snake with two mouths and three eyes! Don’t believe us? Well, you could see for yourself. 
     
    People who came across the unusual looking creature on their social timeline, after getting over their initial shock, have been busy guessing what is it, after all.
     
    The guesses ranged from 'severed snake tail' to a pokemon. Some people suggested that it was a 'mutant' of some kind. 
     
    However, netizens soon determined that the creature was actually a caterpillar - an elephant hawk moth caterpillar, to be precise. These caterpillars, when startled, often assume the 'snake pose' by drawing their trunk into their front body segment. This disguise wards off predators.
     
    Since being shared online, the post has collected almost 2 lakh shares and over 6,000 reactions. A lot of people have commented saying that the caterpillar looks terrifying. "Nature, you scary," says one commenter.
