The above mentioned 5-legged calf belongs to Mr. Vi Thai San's family, born in 1979, residing in Ve village, Yen Na commune, Tuong Duong district.
According to Mr. San, the 5-legged male calf was born around the beginning of February at Huoi Canh Mountain (in the area of Ban Ve hydroelectric reservoir) in Yen Na commune. Upon hearing the news, people around the area took motorboats and rowed boats up Huoi Canh Mountain to witness this 5-legged calf with their own eyes.
This calf has a fifth leg growing in front of its right leg. It has all the necessary parts like hooves, thighs, etc. but is useless for moving.
Many villagers said that a buffalo giving birth to a calf with 5 legs was something never seen before in the village.
It is known that Mr. San's family has 6 buffaloes and calves. Currently, the health of the newborn 5-legged calf is still normal.
