Four interesting facts about twins| TheNewsTribe.com

Kids are the most interesting creatures of God, they are the flowers of heaven. But if we talk about twins, they are even more intriguing. It is fun to watch them and note the similarities they share.

Here are a few facts regarding twins you would enjoy reading.

Twins speak in their own language

What sounds like kids’ babbling could actually be a language developed between twins that only they can understand. Research published in the journal Institute of General Linguistics found that twin babies often use each other to learn vocabulary. The research estimates that up to 40 percent of twins create a private language.

Some twins are images of each other

When a fertilized egg splits later than usual, identical twins’ appearance and other traits can mirror each other. For example, one twin may have a birthmark on her left arm, while the other twin has a birthmark on her right or one twin may be right handed and the other left-handed. In extreme cases, one mirror-image twin’s organs may be reversed, with the heart on the right and liver on the left.

Twins can help mom live longer

University of Utah researchers who studied birth and death records between 1800 and 1970 found that the mothers of twins tend to live longer than moms without twins.

Their belly buttons can tell them apart

Navels are scars from the detachment of the umbilical cord after birth, so they aren’t caused by genetics. Another way to determine who’s who: Take fingerprints. Identical twins may share DNA, but exposure to different areas of the womb during development affects the fingertips’ ridges and whorls.
