A goat in Wellingara, Kombo North, over the weekend, gave birth to seven kids at around 14:00 pm.
The bizarre phenomenon attracted swelling tide of attention, saw the goat delivered five male kids and two female.

Commenting on the story to the Daily Observer, Tida Sillah, the owner of the goat, confirmed that all the kids are alive and the mother in sunny condition. She said it is the fourth time the highly fertile goat gave birth. “For the first time, she gave birth to two kids and the second, it was three. During the third time, the goat gave birth to four kids at once. So today being the fourth times, the goat gave birth to seven, which is a big surprise to all,” she explained.

She further disclosed that the mother of the goat used to give birth to four kids at a time during delivery, thus confirming the shared genes.
