An adorable lamb has got an extra hoof in her step after being born with five legs last month at Lodge House farm in Cornsay, Durham County, UK. However, the extra limb doesn’t stop her from jumping around briskly. The freak nature of the cutie wins hearts of the farm owners and spared her from the dinner table. /VCG Photo

Farming sisters Yolanda and Angela Jewitt decided to keep the newborn as a pet and named her Hope because she beat the odds to be alive and seems like normal and healthy. /VCG Photo

Hope enjoys being fed by bottle as well as gamboling in grassy fields. She has been seen by a vet who says she doesn’t need surgery to survive. /VCG Photo

Although her unusual deformity, known as polymelia, is rare in other animals, sheep with extra limbs are reported from around the world with recent cases in the Netherlands, New Zealand and Nigeria. /VCG Photo
