Extraordinary bond: Conjoined twins Abigail and Brittany Hensel have been given their own reality TV show charting their graduation and travels through Europe
Astonishing development: The 22-year-olds, who share one body, graduated from Bethel University in Minnesota, a story that will form part of the show
Feat of teamwork: The girls passed their driving test on their 16th birthday, with each twin using one arm to control the steering wheel
Remarkable: The girls have two spines, two hearts, two oesophagi, two stomachs, three kidneys, two gall bladders, four lungs, one liver, one ribcage, a shared circulatory system and partially shared nervous systems
Much-loved: The girls attended a private church school and are popular with their friends, who treat them no differently from anyone else
One in a trillion: The Hensels are believed to be one of only a few sets of dicephalus twins in history to survive infancy
Unique parenting skills: Their mother Patty has encouraged the girls to develop their own individuality and to ensure that if one of the twins misbehaves, she is careful to only scold the one responsible
In unison: The twins display an astonishing sense of co-ordination, with each using one arm to perform tasks, including playing the piano and sport
Give and take: What is perhaps most touching about Abigail and Brittany has been their ability to get on, despite their different personalities
