And not just for interactions or discussions between users, but also through content. Turn and move some unusual image or video end up being successful in the Internet. An example of this is today's story. According to a publication that is being shared on social media, a four-headed rattlesnake would have been found in Brazil. According to the internet, there are several versions of this story and it could have occurred in Ceará, Piauí or other cities in the Brazil. Check out the texts and image: Version 1: “For those who think they have seen it all, the signs of the end times. A Rattlesnake with 04 (four) Heads.

The case too A bizarre incident occurred in the town of Caisara, in the interior of General Sampaio, This location is close to the border with Canindé. Our page looked for information to find out if it was not about assembly, but the case actually happened. People found the snake already dead and in advanced state of putrefaction. To date, it has not been possible identify what caused the animal’s death.” It didn't take long for the story to spread across various social networks, such as Facebook and WhatsApp. Despite this, the story presents several characteristics of fake news, such as the vague, alarmist nature, the various versions of the same case, the lack of reliable sources and the absence of news about the subject in reliable media outlets (especially because, if it were really true, the story would be appearing on several covers and being featured in many newspapers). From then on, we decided to investigate this case a little more and now we will tell you explain, step by step, the reasons not to take this story seriously: 1) Was a four-headed rattlesnake found in Brazil? 2) What is the origin of the photo of the four-headed rattlesnake? 3) What is the maximum number of heads What does a snake have? Check ## Was a four-headed rattlesnake found in Brazil? No. Just zoom in on the image to see that it is a montage, especially, the tail part, which was transformed into an extra head. AND possible to see blurs and that someone, in a very “intelligent” way, copied the original head of the snake, reversed the image and placed it on the snake's tail. Furthermore, there are several versions of the story. In some publications, People claim that the snake was found in Ceará. In others, people guarantee that the animal would have been found in Piauí. We know that this type of behavior is a strong indication of fake news. If that wasn't enough, the story was debunked by a snake expert, biologist Henrique Abrahão Charles, and the video was a huge success on the YouTube. According to biologist Henrique, snakes need to excrete that that they eat. In other words, it would be impossible for her to be born with only heads and without a tail. According to him, Siamese snakes may indeed exist, but a snake with four heads is already something completely fanciful. Furthermore, he highlights that the image was edited to make an impact on people. ## What is the origin of the photo of the four-headed rattlesnake? We haven't found the original photo, but we know that the photo that served as the basis for today's montage it was also edited. At the time the first edition appeared on the internet, publications claimed that it was a snake two heads. However, on occasion, the story was also denied by the biologist Henrique Abrahão Charles, who stated that the image didn't make any sense. The snake expert highlighted that it is not normal for a Siamese snake share the same body from the belly. According to Henrique, the most common is that Siamese snakes present division starting from the spine. ## What is the maximum number of heads a snake has? Usually two. This happens when an embryo begins to divide into identical twins, but the process, for some reason, is interrupted. Therefore, so-called Siamese snakes are born (just like humans). You Cases are rare and occur once in every 100,000 births. In 2019, a Siamese rattlesnake was spotted by two experts, in 2019, in a forest in New Jersey, in the United States. Also in the United States, in 2021, a Siamese snake of the “black rat” species (Pantherophis obsoletus) reached celebrate 16 years at an animal conservation sanctuary. Other cases can be seen here. Conclusion Fake news ❌ Photo of a rattlesnake with four heads that was reportedly found in Brazil It's a montage. Just enlarge the photo to see the blurring of the supposed side heads and to see that the main head of the serpent has been copied and inserted into the animal's tail. In other words: nonsense just to impress people and generate clicks there. Ps: This article is a suggestion from Boatos.org readers.
