Meet the lamb with seven legs


Published on Thursday 2 August 2007 09:25

This sheep is one in a million - and it's not difficult to see why.

The seven-legged lamb is pictured on its farm at Methven near Christchurch in the South Island of New Zealand.

Veterinarian Steve Williams said he believed a misprint in embryo formation had resulted in the lamb being born polydactyl, with many legs.

It is a condition that occurs once in several million sheep.
