The report said Maurice Peeters, a Belgian farmer, noticed there was something different about the lamb born on his ranch over the weekend.

"The vet immediately put his hand on it, and asked me if I'd seen it," Peeters told reporters who visited his home. "I said I'd seen it and I said I'd seen it has way too many legs."

The lamb is healthy, but cannot walk, according to the report.

Peeters said he'll wait for the lamb to get stronger before he'll try to amputate two of the legs next week.

"The front two legs have to go, this one is a good one," Peeters said.
