Eight-legged “Octogoat” – goat born in Croatia has eight spider-like legs

Octogoat - Croatian goat born with eight legs

A goat in Croatia has given birth to kid (baby goat) with eight legs. Rancher Zoran Paparic says after the mother goat (Sarka) gave birth to the freakish goat, he couldn’t believe his eyes.

“I counted his legs, and I thought I was seeing things. Then I called my neighbor to make sure that I am not crazy.”

Octogoat also has both male and female reproductive organs. Two healthy goats were born with the eight-legged wonder. Local veterinarians told Paparic that the reason for the goat’s extra legs is an underdeveloped twin sibling and that it is likely it will not survive. Veterinarians say if Octogoat can survive for longer than a week, it may live a full life. Go Octogoat, go!
