1 year & going strong: Six-legged calf defies death, stuns vets who predicted animal wouldn’t survive

A six-legged calf named Gambiarra, born in Brazil, has defied expectations and grown into adulthood despite initial predictions of a short lifespan due to its unique condition. The calf has an extra pair of legs growing from its neck, a condition called polymelia. Gambiarra’s case is not the first of its kind, as in 2016, a two-headed calf was born in India. Although it survived for a week, it faced difficulties in feeding and showed signs of health deterioration.
