A museum that displays animals with shocking physical abnormalities in a cave near the West Bank city of Hebron will be adding its newest exhibit this week: a four-legged chicken.
希伯伦市内有一家建于山洞里的特殊博物馆,该馆专门展出各种畸形动物,那里将于本周内增加一件最新的展品:一只身上长着4条腿的鸡。
The founder of the museum, known as the Cave of Caves, said the unlikely quadruped is already dying because of its condition and it will be euthanised and stuffed by a local pharmacist.
该博物馆的创立者是一个名为“洞中之洞”的组织。该组织表示,这只罕见的4腿鸡由于身体状况急剧恶化将不久去世,人们会对它实施安乐死,然后再由当地一位药剂师将其身体填充制成标本。
"Misuse of hormones led to such abnormality," said Abdel Kareen Abu Znaid, the pharmacist who will be preserving the chicken. The bird will be displayed in the cave alongside other unusual creatures, like a two-headed goat.
负责保存小鸡遗体的药剂师兹奈德表示:“正是由于人类滥用激素才导致了这种畸形现象的发生。”除了这只鸡以外,该博物馆内还展出着其它多种看上去不同寻常的动物,比如长有2个头的山羊等。
