Visitors flocking to see Jake, the five-legged lamb

THIS is no attempt to pull the wool over your eyes... but a five-legged lamb has been born.

- 

Owner Alice Jackson, a teaching student at Edge Hill University, said Jake arrived to a small flock in Sutton, Macclesfield, late on March 31 and is now awaiting an operation to have his extra limb removed.

Alice, 21, says people initially struggled to believe the amazing birth when her family announced it particularly as this was first done on April 1.

But now five-legged Jake has become a local celebrity with countless visits from people fascinated to see phenomenon and his own fundraising website to help pay for the operation.
