TL;DR Summary

A rare six-legged mountain gazelle has been discovered in Israel, with an extra pair of legs due to a genetic abnormality. Despite this, the gazelle seems to be managing well and has even sired offspring. The animal's condition is attributed to a rare genetic disorder called polymelia, and it is the first known instance of this disorder in a mountain gazelle in the Middle East. Mountain gazelles are a protected species in Israel, with only around 5,000 remaining in the wild, and they can also be found in other parts of the region.
