The animal, which has been named Magdalena, also has two brains that work independently from each other.
But having two heads and five legs can be a burden, according to her owner Roman Gresak. He said: "The second head sometimes doesn't allow the tortoise to know where to go".

Magdalena would not be able to survive in the wild because other tortoises would exclude her from their collective.

I find it odd that they call these two tortoises a tortoise called Magdalena. I mean, two heads means two individuals, even if they share a body. Human beings in the same situation are called twins and have their own names, anything else would be silly and insulting. Tortoises can't be insulted but this is silly.
Agreed.
Maybe they should have called it gemini.
...Or "Toofer"
