Farmer saves lamb born with just two legs

A farmer has saved the life of a lamb born with only two legs.

Cui Jinxiu, from Laizhou in northern China's Shandong province, admitted that she considered dumping the lamb - one of two born in the village last month, Rex Features reports.

"The first one was a very healthy and normal one. However, the second one surprised me," she said. "With a further look I was surprised to find that the lamb only has two legs.

"I thought of dumping it after it was born but the next morning it even stood up by itself. It is very strong-willed and brave. Although only having two legs it is living normally as other lambs."

She added: "Once it sees me or hears my voice it will run to me with excitement."

After being bottle-fed by Cui, the lamb has now reached a height of 30cm and weight of 6kg.
