Wildlife authorities in Northern Australia probably did a double take after this sighting along a highway: a three-eyed snake.

Rangers discovered the 16-inch baby carpet python in March, just outside of a town called Humpty Doo, according to a Facebook post.

An X-ray of the creature showed it was especially unusual in that it had one skull with an additional eye socket and three functioning eyes, not two separate heads forged together.
