Quinto, a lamb born with five legs at the Whitehouse Farm in Morpeth, in the UK, is by far the cutest mutant animal I have seen in a while.

Sky Tyne and Wear wrote that Quinto was born on Easter Sunday and her owner, Helen Miller chose to name her after the Latin word for “five.”

A genetic anomaly, the lamb's extra leg dangles underneath her, being shorter than her other legs. It is located on her abdomen and it is not a functioning limb.

Vets have yet to decide if the leg has to be removed, but Quinto will receive a visit from doctors at the Alnorthumbria Vetinary Group who are set to figure out if the leg can become a nuisance. While the lamb is healthy, having to drag the fifth leg along could affect its development.
