Default janus is 10

pics of Janus taken on her 10th birthday party



Janus, a turtle on display at the Museum of Natural History in Geneva, Switzerland, has visitors doing a double take. She has two heads! The healthy Mediterranean spur-thighed tortoise was born in September. Janus can move both heads and munch salad with both mouths. She's named for Janus, a Roman god with two faces. So is the month of January.
