3 possibilities: it's not it's own leg (this is after all a predator !); the hind legs were somehow damaged at hatching (the specimen is very teneral - compare the colouring of the previous photos) and any meal is better than none; or escaped predation but hung on to leg hoping to glue it back on (must find some tree resin...)
