Four-legged Stumpy 'doing well' - Update

A duck who appeared on TV around the world when he was born with four legs has amazed his owners by surviving into adulthood, despite his deformity.

Stumpy was born in February at Warrawee Duck Farm, Copythorne, Hants, with two extra legs behind the two he moves on.



Stumpy's owner, Nicky Janaway, said he was thriving on the farm and had now almost reached full-size.

Due to his rare mutation, Mrs Janaway said she thought Stumpy would not survive in the wild but was making himself at home on the New Forest farm, and his spare legs had acted as stabilisers.
