Here’s something you don’t see every day. Veterinarians at the Neel Veterinary Hospital in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, say a puppy born there is believed to be the first ever born alive with six legs. They say the puppy, named Skipper, was born with a single head and chest cavity, but has six legs, two tails, two pelvic regions, two lower urinary tracts and two reproductive systems. The vets there say she is the first canine with six legs to be born alive, and despite some signs of spina bifida, her organs “appear to be in great shape.” They write in a Facebook post, “All of her legs move and respond to stimulus just like a normal puppy. It's possible she may need physical therapy and assistance with mobility as she gets older.” They also note Skipper is “very strong” and is doing well at her owner’s home.
