Newborn goat with a human face did not live for long after its birth


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.


Instead of selling the remains, the 63-year-old farmer decided to hand them over to experts who wanted to carry out an investigation on the strange-looking kid.

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.
