Six-legged deer discovered

The creature was discovered after being attacked by two dogs in Everett Springs, Georgia in the US.

The fawn has two distinct pelvises and uses one leg from each to walk.

It also had two tails, but one was amputated because of the injuries it suffered during the attack.



It is now recovering at the West Rome Animal Clinic, in Rome, Georgia, where vet Dan Pate said: 'It is really an anomaly. It appears it had an identical twin that didn’t form all the way.

'Somehow it has a fairly normal gait, although the centre legs seem to get in the way.'

It is likely to be to be taken the deer facility at the University of Georgia once it has recovered.
