Stumpy Still Has a Leg Up

A duck who became famous after he was born with four legs has lost one of his extra limbs. 938652.jpgStumpy was born at Warrawee Duck Farm, Hampshire, in February, with an extra set of legs behind the two he moves on.

His owner Nicky Janaway, who was amazed Stumpy had thrived into adulthood, said he caught one of his extra legs, which stuck out, in his pen’s fencing.

But she said it was a plus for Stumpy as, without the flailing leg, the duck could now safely roam the whole farm.

Mrs Janaway said: “He’s now only got three legs and a stump which means he’s Stumpy by name and stumpy by nature.
