“Lamb has 5 legs“
An Australian wool farmer said a lamb from his family’s flock will now become a family pet because it has an extra leg growing out of its head.
Sam Kuerschner, of South Australia, said he was taking a break from shearing about three weeks ago when his father noticed something unusual about one of the lambs.
“He said, ‘That sheep’s got five legs’. We stood up and had a bit of a look and sure enough it did,” Kuerschner said.
He said the extra leg was made all the more unusual by the fact that it’s coming out of the back of the animal’s head.
“It’s a fully-formed leg. There’s bone and joints and it’s even got a hoof on the end of it,” he said.
” I’ve got three little kids and they’ll be fascinated to have that as a special pet for hopefully the rest of its life,” he said.
