Meet Maggie Mae — the two legged goat…

Mag­gie Mae was born to a momma goat who gave birth to four babies. One was still born , and appar­ently, the womb was over crowded and Mag­gie May did not get proper cir­cu­la­tion to her back legs. Shortly after her birth, her back legs — and the tips of her ears — came off, cue to dry gan­grene. The own­ers expected her to die — but not only did she have a will to live, she began to walk on her front legs!  At first she walked with her body tipped way up in the air. But she even­tu­ally “lev­eled” out and walks with her body hor­i­zon­tal, like any goat. She walks awhile, then lies down on the grown to graze. The own­ers real­ized that this lit­tle girl would not do well try­ing to maneu­ver in their large pas­ture, so decided to allow her to come to Noah’s Ark. She and her brother came together and have adjusted quite well. The chil­dren love her, and she is an inspi­ra­tion to every­one who sees her.
