Nose for survival

This calf has a nose for survival after it became a local celebrity when it was born with three nostrils at a farm in Cheiry, Switzerland. Swiss bio farmer Urs Herrmann, 44, said: "People are always coming to visit her - bringing nice things for her to eat and making a fuss of her. She is in the stable with all the other young calves and is totally healthy and fine. "But she has a better life than the others since she gets spoiled more than the others who get a lot less attention." Herrmann said he was also not slaughtering the calf along with the others, saying: "It would be no big problem since we own around 100 animals already. One more or less will not make a big difference."
