Five-legged lamb born in UK named after Tom Hanks character
A five-legged lamb which was born at a farm in the UK has been named 'Forrest' after Hollywood actor Tom Hanks' character from the 1994 film 'Forrest Gump'. The lamb was named so in the hope that its extra limb gives it the same love of running as the film's character. "It's happy- drinking, running around," said the farm's owner.
London, Mar 18 (PTI) A five-legged lamb has been born at a farm in the UK and named after a Tom Hanks character. The Texel Mule cross was born on Thursday in Derbyshire and farm owner Mark Bayley said he was totally healthy. The Bayley family nicknamed the young male Forrest in the hope his extra limb gives him the same love of running as film character Forrest Gump. Bayley said although it was tempting to sell Forrest for meat, he would probably be kept as a family pet, the BBC reported. The extra limb, which sits just behind Forrests left front leg, is slightly shorter than the other four so is not interfering with his mobility at the farm in Ashbourne.
