Five-legged calf

| Sin comentarios

A five-legged calf was born in Iurreta, Vizcaya, Spain, last April 2, as reported by Efe its owner Jesús Lejarazu. The animal came into the world after a normal calving, weighing some 30 kilos. The calf has five full legs; two front paws and three hind legs.  Besides, a sixth leg looms on its back, though very small and without movement.
Mr. Lejarazu, has explained that the animal will be treated as the rest of his herd and that the extra legs will not be removed, since it doesn't seem to pose the animal a problem. The mother also gave birth to a hornless calf last year.

Polymelia not only occurs in humans, but also in cattle. It is a birth defect:  the affected animal has more than the usual number of limbs.

See you soon ,

Alonso
