Aug 3 2007 Lamb born with seven legs
A seven-legged lamb was born in New Zealand six days ago. The animal has three hind legs and two extra legs that hang useless behind the forelegs. Which reminds me, I need to take my daily bath in radioactive waste. Those superpowers aren't going to develop on their own.

I bet that lamb's pissed off that it hasn't quite made Octo-Lamb status.

Yeah, well, octo-squid-lamb status is better than octo-lamb status anyway. More syllables.

I want one...
6. Things Fall Apart - August 3, 2007 1:37 PM
Maybe it's actually an octo-lamb with a birth defect.

Octo-Lamb can battle Octo-Squid!
The battle of the Lamb has grown silent.
Yeah just ignore me..

That is sad and pathetic looking. It looks like it is suffering. Like it is struggling to not die.

Did you read the source? They are going to kill it. Probably shortly after taking that picture.
"He said the lamb was also hermaphrodite and missing a portion of its bowel so was unable to pass faeces and would have to be destroyed."
Yeah, it won't suffer for long.

The two front legs are the only limbs that look like they aren't sewn on.

Daemon... DAEMON!!!
We pity this creature because deep down inside we all know it's nature all f***ed up. put it out of it's misery. it's life is worthless.
BOOM! headshot.

Don't you see that the lamb is sitting over another miniature lamb with regular size legs. That explains extra legs.
Either way, why is this on Geekologie? Wait was I redirected to Freakologie?
19. mudd - August 17, 2007 6:29 PM

You guys are all stupid. You shouldn't be making fun of this! do you think you would like to be spread on the internet if you had extra limbs? NO!
26. hunter mcwilliams - September 18, 2009 7:56 PM
this is so wierd
27. eve - September 19, 2009 11:10 AM
I wonder if the spiderlam could run 7 times faster than a regular lamb? mmmm.... and I don't think it has a disease but any way I wouldn't like to eat hermaphordite lamb on my dinner table either... eww
28. Yourallidiots - October 13, 2009 2:02 PM
I hate you all who are making fun of this lamb. This is "accidental". This is something that someone screwed up during an experiment. I hope whoever did this dies and God may strike me dead for saying that but that's the way I feel. I hope they put it to sleep before I come over there and knock those guys heads right off their bodys!
