More facts on twins
Another set of famous conjoined twins were Eng
and Chang Bunker, who were born in Thailand (then
called Siam ) in 1811. The term Siamese twins was
coined as a reference to Eng and Chang, who
achieved international fame shortly after leaving
Siam as teenagers. They were exhibited in circus
shows around the world before settling in the
United States , where they married two sisters
and had nearly two dozen children. They were 63
years old when they died.

Twin Facts

• Conjoined twins occur once every 200,000 live
  births.
• 40 to 60 percent of conjoined twins arrive
• stillborn, and about 35 percent survive only one
  day.
• The overall survival rate of conjoined twins is
  between 5 and 25 percent.
• Approximately 70 percent of all conjoined twins
  are girls. Although more male twins conjoin in
  the womb than female twins, females are three
  times as likely to be born alive.
• Conjoined twins are genetically identical and
  are, therefore, always the same sex. They develop
  from the same fertilized egg.
