I am sure all of us wished at some point in our lives that we had a twin sibling but its not that common for every family to have a pair of twins, in fact only one in every 31 kids is a twin.
So What Causes Twins
twins occur when the sperm fertilizes the egg and then the fertilized egg splits into 2 or more embryos. Although many of us believe that their are contributing factors such as age, race or family genes. Scientist have prove that their is no correlation between any of the 3 factors but it is all just a matter of luck.

Twins are not actually identical
As we all know twins pretty much look the exact same, they act the same and even sound the same but if you have ever been with a pair of twins for a while you will start to realize that they aren't exactly alike and that at this point you can easily distinguish between the two. This it because twins have very similar DNA but that doesn't mean they are the exact same after all if they were the same it would be hard to solve a crime scene.

Twins can be very Different
Even though the word twins means identical, twins can actually in fact be very different. How different? Well twins can be different gender, age and even race. You may be wondering how they can possibly be different ages, well just recently there was a case were a 5 year old girl just get a new sister who was apparently her twin sister, how did this happen? Well their mother had a very hard time getting pregnant so she turned to In Vitro Fertilization, which allowed her to have the two kids at separate times.

Mothers of Twins Live Longer
A recent study proved that women who have given birth to a pair of twins are much healthier and so they are likely to live a much longer life. A women who gave birth to twins is not only likely to live an extra 15 years herself but is also allowing the same for her set of twins

Twins have there own language
This one might be weird but it's completely true, the language that they speak is called "Idioglossis", it's kind of like a unknown language that they only understand. This language is usually shared between twins but can also be shared between very close siblings. The sad thing is that it doesn't last forever and is forgotten by the age of 4.
