"Dog-kangaroos" turn heads in the Philippines
Dog lovers, meet Cute and Bambi, who have been dubbed "dog-kangaroos" by those who have encountered the pair in Quezon City, Philippines.
Cute and Bambi were apparently both born with only their two rear legs and are the pets of Lope Tulipas, a Quezon City street vendor. Many passersby are understandably taken by the pair -- some have even offered to buy them, but Tulipas has turned down all offers.

I have a book "Mutants" by New Zealand writer Armand Marie Leroi in which he mentions a baby goat born in the 1940s with just two legs and hopped around like a kangaroo. The goat didn't live long but its condition apparently was not the cause of its death.
