A calf from Yougawalla Station in the Kimberley region of Western
Australia has been born with a marking on its hide that looks like a map
of Australia.
Yougawalla Station's Jane Sale reckons the unique coat will probably save the calf from ending up on the dinner plate.
"We definitely know which paddock he's in and we'll be keeping an eye out for him when we draft, and I think for sure he'll have to stay around [and not be sold]," she said.
"As he grows I hope it [the Australian map] stays in its current shape." Mrs Sale said it even seemed like New Zealand was visible up near the animal's front-right leg, and the south-east tip of Indonesia was on his rump.
