A farmer in China was surprised by a newborn calf - when it turned out to have an extra two legs and a second tail growing out of its back.
The calf was born on March 7 in Leizhou, in Guangdong Province in the south of China.

It has two short legs - complete with hooves - and a tail growing out of the centre of its back. The calf doesn't seem to be particularly disadvantaged by its extra legs - it now stands 45cm tall and weighs 15kg.

The calf's owner, a farmer from Fujiayuan village in Leizhou, says he plans to keep the calf until he can find a buyer for it.

Previous animals with an unusual number of limbs covered by Metro include a five legged piglet from China, a seven-legged lamb from New Zealand, a six-legged cow from Colombia, a seven-legged intersex deer from Wisconsin, and a piglet born in Croatia with six legs, two penises and two anuses who was nicknamed 'Octopig'.
