A unique animal was born on a Croatian farm - an octopus goat with male and female genitals. The owner calls it a miracle of nature and willingly demonstrates it to journalists.
Recently, a goat named Sharka lamented on one of the Croatian farms. This event would hardly have attracted public attention if it had not been for the hermaphrodite goat with eight legs, writes a correspondent for MailOnline.
The owner of the farm, Zoran Paparic, says that he expected the offspring, but was not ready to see such a miracle of nature. Looking into the barn, he realized that Sharka had given birth and went up to her in order to look at the offspring, and was amazed to find a strange creature. According to the man, he was so stunned by what he saw that at the first moment he could not believe his eyes and turned to a neighbor for help.
"He was lying between the healthy goats," he told InSerbia. - I started counting the kid's legs, then got lost, started over. I could not understand what was the matter and thought that I had vision problems and everything was double. Then I called my neighbor with a request to come, inspect the animals and confirm that I was not crazy."
After a joint count of the limbs, Zoran made sure that common sense had not left him and called the local veterinarians. Interested specialists arrived at the farm and, having examined the animal, added: it is not only an "octopus", but also a hermaphrodite.

“I have told the veterinarians that I want to keep the baby alive, but they say that is unlikely. The first week will show everything: if the kid survives these days, then he will have two or three years ahead. I sincerely hope that he will survive,”Paparis shared his feelings.
Experts explained to local residents that the reason for the appearance of extra legs was the underdeveloped "twin brother" of the kid.
Zoran admitted that while the animal cannot stand on numerous limbs.
“He is trying, but he has not enough strength for this,” states Paparis, who supports the miracle of nature.
