In rare cases, twins can be different races. Source: Although it may be hard to believe, Kian and Remee are twins. This is the result of a one in a million combination of their parents’ genes, who are mixed race. If parents are mixed race, their eggs or sperm contain the genetic code for both black and white skin and in very few cases this results in twins of different skin colors. Source: dailymail.co.uk

Women who give birth to twins may live longer Women who give birth to twins are generally healthier and stronger to begin with than those who don’t. Some believe that twins are an evolutionary adaptation, where the healthiest of mothers take the chance to pass on double the genes at once.

Tall women are more likely to have twins The Long Island Jewish Medical Center discovered that taller women have more insulin-like growth factor (IGF) - a protein that increases a woman’s chance of ovulating. The more IGF a woman has, the greater the chance that she will become pregnant with twins. Other research found that women who gave birth to twins were on average one inch taller than other mothers.

Women who eat a lot of dairy are also more likely to have twins A study in the Journal of Reproductive Medicine compared twin birth rates from vegan and non-vegan mothers. Those who consumed dairy were five times more likely to have twins. Cows, like humans, also produce IGF and release it into their milk, which the women consume.

Twins interact with each other in the womb. The University of Padova recently discovered that twins are as close in the womb as they are outside of it. At 14 weeks of gestation, twins were seen reaching for each other. Four weeks later, twins in the womb touched each other more often than they touched their own bodies. The twins were gentle to each other and made distinct gestures toward each other. 1 Like

Twins that are exact reflections of each other are called Mirror Image Twins. Around 25% of identical twins develop directly facing each other, meaning they become exact reflections of each other. One is often left-handed, while the other is right-handed. They may also have birthmarks on the opposite sides of their bodies. 2 Likes

Some conjoined twins can hear each other’s thoughts and see through each other’s eyes. Krista and Tatiana Hogan are attached at the head and share a thalamus - the part of the brain that controls physical sensations and motor functions. As a result, the girls can see through each other’s eyes and hear each other’s thoughts. They can also feel and see what the other one does.

Identical twins do not have identical fingerprints. Fingerprints are not solely shaped by DNA. Although they start with the same fingerprints, during weeks 6 to 13 of pregnancy, when the twins start to move, they touch the amniotic sac which forms unique ridges and lines.

Identical twins can make master criminals. Apart from their fingerprints, identical twins are 99.99% identical on a DNA level. In January, 2009, $6.8 million worth of jewelry was stolen in Berlin. The single suspect (who was wearing gloves) left behind sweat beads, which police extracted DNA from and tracked down to two people - Hassan and Abbas O. - identical twins. Both denied responsibility, accused the other, and because police couldn’t identify which of the twins the DNA belonged to, both ended up walking free. 2 Likes

Nearly half of twins invent their own languages. Babies that are extremely close have been known to form autonomous languages that only they can understand. Since the babies must be extremely close, autonomous languages are far more common in twins, with around 40% of twins forming their own languages before they learn one that we can understand. Below is an adorable example… Source: huffingtonpost.com
