The correct answer is **Spider lamb syndrome**.Spider lamb syndrome, also known as mule foot, is a genetic disorder that affects the development of the hooves in sheep. It is characterized by the presence of extra toes or "spider legs" on the hooves, giving the appearance of a mule's foot. This condition is caused by a mutation in the HOFT2 gene, which affects the formation of the hoof wall. It is a rare condition but can have significant impacts on the affected animals' mobility and overall health.
