An incredulous farmer has witnessed one of his goats give birth to a kid with the ‘face of a human’.
Shankar Das, 46, owns a farm in Gangapur village in the northeastern Indian state of Assam.
After one of his goats gave birth to the ‘human baby-like offspring’, word spread around the village and photos started to be shared online.
Locals said it had the face of a human baby.
‘Everyone was left shocked by its appearance resembling a human baby.’
He continued: ‘The goat had already given birth to a kid.
‘It was her second delivery. It has stunned me and the villagers as well.’
Unfortunately, the kid was born alive but died soon after.
In India, the birth of a deformed animal is considered a bad omen or bad luck, locals said.
Neighbour Rakesh Kumar added: ‘In many areas, it’s considered as the warning.
‘The people see the mutant births as the sign from God.’
