5 Legged Lamb Born In Northern England
Five-legged lamb born at Whitehouse Farm
A lamb has been born with five legs at a farm in Northumberland.
Named Quinto by staff at Whitehouse Farm Centre in Morpeth, it was among three born on Sunday.
The additional front limb is fully formed and does not appear to be causing the animal any problems, according to manager Heather Hogarty.
Ms Hogarty said a vet was due to assess Quinto in the next day or so and a decision made whether or not to amputate her extra leg.
Quinto has quickly become one of the star attractions at the farm, which also features llamas, wallabies and meerkats.
