The separate heads were making decisions independently, and in movement they were not coordinated. If one of the heads decided to move to the right, then the animal would kind of wander off to the right, and then the other head might make a decision to move some other direction. They’re sending signals down to the muscles to do one thing or another thing simultaneously. This is why they usually don’t survive in the wild, because they’re uncoordinated, and they’re easy prey for predators like birds.
