Mutant Goat Born With Human- like Face Will Be ‘Worshipped As An Avatar Of God'
By Chris Ciaccia | Fox News
A mutated goat with a face that looks eerily like a human has been born in India, shocking onlook- ers.
Images and videos of the mutated mammal have gone
viral, The Sun reports. Initially, the deformed mammal per- plexed villagers in Nimodia, India, but it is now believed it will be "worshipped as an avatar of God," The Sun added, citing local reports.
It's likely that the goat suffers from
a congenital defect known as "cyclopia." Accor ding to
the National Institute of Health, cyclopia, which can occur in humans as well as animals, "is a very rare syndrome of severe facial dys-
morphism."
Unusual animal sights always garner plenty of attention. A New Hampshire lob- sterman caught a rare blue lobster in June 2017. Later that
month, a woman in
Virginia pulled a blue crab with two oysters grow- ing on its shell from the waters of Chesapeake Bay.
In September 2017,
another mutant goat in
India went
viral after images cropped up showing its human-like fea- tures. Images of a still-born baby goat with
a "demonic
face" surfaced two months earli- er.
Images of an
“octo-pig,” also dubbed the “spi- der pig,” went viral in 2016 after a piglet with eight legs was born in the village of El Galpon, in Argentina’s north- western province of Salta.
