Four-Legged Duck: Stumpy was a duckling that was born with four legs on a farm in Hampshire, UK. One of his extra limbs was lost when he caught it in a fence and it had to be removed by a veterinarian. Then his owner noticed that the drake’s third leg started turning black and eventually dropped off when the animal was 14 months old. Only two stumps remain from the extremely rare mutation, meaning Stumpy could stand on his own two feet and finally live up to his name. See more
