He’s very light on his legs – all six of them.
A mountain antelope with two additional arms growing out of its rear was seen in Israel — and researchers say that despite his real challenges, he is “healthy” and” strong”.
Army military Nir Leichter spotted the six-legged antelope at the northern Negav’s Nahal HaBoshor nature reserve in late March, according to the Jerusalem Post.
Leichter sent a picture of the zebra to the Israeli Society for the Protection of Nature, which explained that the odd ailment was caused by a rare genetic disorder known as polymelia, or tissue development.
Amir Balaban, a SPNI naturalist, reported to CBS News that the gazelle is the first instance of the hereditary problem found in a mountain gazelle in the Middle East. It is the first instance of the condition.
The six-legged antelope adapted from a difficult beginning to thriving adulthood, according to Balaban.
” Contrary to expectations, the antelope is good, solid, and has three adult zebras and a calf from the preceding fall. He has been seen entertaining the female participants in the grounds, he noted, and the more weight on his back is unaffordable.
Mountain zebras are a protected species in Israel, where just about 5, 000 are believed to be in the wild, the channel noted.
Because his place in the eastern Negev is only a few miles from the war-torn Gaza Strip, the six-legged gazelle’s survival is all the more remarkable.  ,
According to SPNI, the region is “one of the most significant remaining hideouts for the Jewish gazelle in the northern Negev, especially during the current war.”
In addition to Israel, rock cheetahs can also be spotted in Turkey, pieces of Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan, and the Arab lands.
