Rocky Mountain High

Hathor, the cow-god


Word comes from Colorado where a calf was born with seven legs and two spines. Yes, that's right folks. Now apparently the vet has seen five legged calves, but this was the most bizarre to date. One leg had two hooves. The unfortunate creature lived ten minutes or so.


Okay, maybe this was an incomplete splitting of an embryo into twins, but maybe not.


If this had happened in India, the calf would be a god. As it is, it may end up on the menu at Mickey D's.
