Do you always know what your twin is thinking? Do you feel your twin's pain when he or she is hurt? Twins are constantly being asked questions like these. But what is it that makes twins so special?Statistically, only two of every eighty babies born in America are twins and in some countries, twin births are even less common.There are two types of twins. Fraternal twins don't always share physical characteristics such as hair colour, eye colour or blood type. They are no more alike than any other siblings. Identical twins, on the other hand, look exactly the same. As a result, many identical twins have a lot of fun swapping identities and trying to trick their friends, teachers and even parents.Many scientists think that the connection between identical twins is about more than just physical similarity. They believe that twins often have a very special understanding. There are many fascinating stories about identical twins who after being separated at birth were reunited some years later. Even though they grew up under completely different circumstances, with different families, in different homes and thousands of miles apart, it was discovered that these twins had done many of the same things. And in some cases the coincidences were amazing.One of famous examples is the story of Jim Lewis and Jim Springer. They were separated at four weeks old in 1940 and grew up forty-five miles apart in Ohio, in the USA. When they were reunited in 1979, they discovered that they're both become policemen. They'd also both married women called Linda and had sons called James Alan. They'd both got divorced and remarried women called Betty and they both owned dogs called Toy!You may think stories like these simply describe a series of coincidences. Or perhaps they show that there is a remarkable connection between twins which we are only just beginning to understand.
