6-Legged, 2-Tailed Cow Born

The birth of a deformed calf has the residents of a small town in Colombia talking.

The female calf, named Paloma, was born with an extra pair of legs and an extra tail. The body parts are from a second fetus that did not develop completely. Locals have speculated on the cause of the deformities.

Paloma, or pigeon, was born with two extra legs, and an extra tail.

The body parts are from a second fetus.

Deformed calf owner Salvador Vanegas says, "This is sort of a nature thing. It's due to lack of calcium, so the animal does not completely form."

But others in Villa Vieja have attributed the deformation to causes like an act of God or the stars.

Paloma's owner has put the female calf up for sale, while local authorities plan to examine the animal.

We all know that before long someone is going to blame it on global warming and demand a global socialist command economy to remedy the problem.

There was a picture on the old thread. If this is a new six-legged animal and not the subject of the previous thread(s), then there are too many of these freak births and it is probably Global Warming doing it.

Okay, the cow has six legs, but what's wrong with Salvador?

(Language mayhem ping!)
