Goat learns to walk on just its two legs

A goat born in China without its hind legs has learned how to walk on his front two and is becoming a local celebrity.

Yang Yang's owner says the three-year-old goat was born with little stumps instead of hind legs and he doubted Yang Yang would survive.

"He tried to stand up, but after many attempts, he failed and could only lie on the ground," Yang Yang's owner said.

The owner says he and his wife took turns carrying Yang Yang to his mother to be fed and eventually they taught Yang Yang to walk on his forelegs.

The owner says after about a month, Yang Yang began walking on his forelegs alone and he can now run around several times without stopping.
