A freak lamb, which is claimed to be one of the most remarkable specimens of freak animals existing, was born recently on Mr. L. Tye’s property on the Thames coast. The lamb was discovered shortly after birth, when it exhibited peculiar formation and gait. The animal was later found to have six fully-developed legs, which were all used in walking. The two extra legs were seemingly attached to the normal ones in the body, and were slightly curved near the hoofs. The lamb was perfectly formed from the nose to its forequarters, after which it resembled two lambs encased in one body. The animal is stated to be healthy and active, aud can move about with comparative ease.
