Social media has gone into a frenzy after what appears to be a fawn - the mythical fusion of goat and human - was born in southern Malaysia. Disturbing photos after the jump.
From The Sun: The newborn goat with a human face did not live for long after its birth and the carcass has now been handed over to the Veterinary Services Department.
The baby goat belonged to a farmer in the village of Felda named Ibrahim Basir who refused several offers of money from people interested in buying the carcass.
Ibrahim told local media he was initially shocked when he found out that one of his goats had given birth to a baby that had human features.
He said he was earlier informed by one of his farmworkers, Jamaludin Abdul Samad, 50, that some parts of the baby goat looked like a human infant.
"When I went to check I was quite shocked but fascinated too as its face, nose, short legs and even the condition of its soft body seemed like that of a human baby, whereas the light brown fur covering its whole body resembles that of a goat,” Ibrahim said.
He added that despite the features the fawn-like creature did not have any umbilical cord.
Ibrahim said he believed the baby was trampled by its mother, causing its bizarre features.
"We kept the carcass in a polystyrene box filled with ice cubes before taking it to the district veterinary office at around noon yesterday,” he added.
