Meet 'Lilli the calf' - the six legged cow

Lilli the calf who made headlines around the world after being born with six legs on her farm in Weissenburg, Switzerland, has been successfully operated on to have the limbs removed and has now been given a home at Austria's animal farm.

Surgeons in Bern, Switzerland, managed to operate to remove the two extra legs growing from Lilli's shoulder and she has now been moved to the Gut Aiderbichl, an Alpine animal refuge centre in Henndorf am Wallersee in the Austrian province of Salzburg.

Britta Freitag from Gut Aiderbichl said Lilli was already making a full recovery in the Alpine environment.

Lilli was born on 14th February 2012 in the Swiss Simmental region. The farmer decided not to put her to sleep as the cow was developing normally and was full of life.
