Local veterinarians explained to Mr. Paparic that the extra legs of the young goat were the result of an underdeveloped twin brother. The extгаoгdіпагу goat, affectionately referred to as the “octogoat,” was born between two healthy newborn goats.

When Mr. Paparic first noticed the additional limbs, he counted them in disbelief and even called his neighbor to сoпfігm that he wasn’t imagining things.
