The twins have been traveling circus entertainers since then. The villagers in their hometown offered money to their parents and their uncle, who is their manager, decided that the twins could make more money if they joined the circus. The Mondals were born in India sometime around 1970 (their exact date of birth is unknown) and were immediately met with superstitious awe. Ganga and Jamuna Mondal, better known by their stage name the Spider Sisters, are the oldest conjoined twins outside of America.

Since Abby and Brittany were born in 1990, people have always been fascinated with them. While all of the conjoined twins on this list have been featured in various news outlets and documentaries, Abigail (Abby) and Brittany Hensel were so famous at one point that they were given their own docuseries on the TLC television network in 2012. Part(s) of Body Shared: Share a single body, but have separate heads, hearts, stomachs, spines, pairs of lungs, and spinal cords.

At the time, the Dogarus said that they had settled down in Chicago and that the twins were doing their best to live happy lives despite being unable to undergo separation surgery. The last time that Anastasia and Tatiana’s story was covered was in 2011 and there have been no updates on their condition since. As the Dogaru twins got older, more complications arose and both twins developed various health problems. Doctors had hoped that they would be able to someday separate the twins, but the surgery was finally called off in 2007.

Krista and Tatiana will be turning 12 soon and are living happy lives with their family in Canada. The twins even say that they can “hear” one another’s thoughts without having to speak.
