A five-legged lamb was born on a farm in the United Kingdom. This creature is one in a million. This one-of-a-kind lamb piqued people's interest, and its photo went viral on social media. 

The birth of a five-legged lamb was announced by Whitehouse Farm in Moreph. Heather Hogarty, co-owner of the farm, stated that this lamb was born on February 22 as part of a set of triplets. This lamb had been in good health up until now. Northumberland, the farm's owner, stated that he was perplexed to see this newborn with a fifth leg protruding from its body.

Hogarty was interviewed on Chronicle Live. She stated that it was unusual, but a small difference did occur. It was unusual to see animals with disabilities. It was difficult to let them go. She wished for a normal and healthy life for this five-legged lamb. This special lamb may require surgery in the future to remove this extra leg. 

It was unusual to see a five-legged lamb. Every year, approximately one in a million animals died as a result of this. Hogarty reminded us that this was not the first time we had encountered this unusual creature. Quinto was the one with the extra leg ten years ago. It was positioned in the center of Quinto's body. Quinto's extra limb was removed, and he now has a normal life.
