A four-legged duckling named Stumpy has beaten the odds and survived into adulthood. Born with two extra legs behind his normal pair at the Warrawee Duck Farm in Hampshire, England, Stumpy has appeared in countless television shows and photo shoots across the globe. When Nicky Janaway, his owner, saw Stumpy's extra legs for the first time, she was "gobsmacked." As for the future? "We're making a very big pen for him to make sure he is kept very safe..." says Mrs. Janaway, "...He seems a very happy duck." (credit to H. Hancock)
"And this bird you cannot chaaaaaaaannnngggee!"
