A carpet python with three eyes was found in the town of Humpty Doo, Australia.
With two eyes in their typical positions, the third eye is nestled in the center of the snakes head, peering out with a lidless gaze.
 Snakes and other reptiles are sometimes born with extra heads or tales, but an extra eye is exceedingly uncommon.
X-rays revealed the snake did not have an extra head fused with its own. The eye sat in a third socket and was seemingly functional.
