Bizarre births : Human Faced Lamb
A sheep gave birth to a dead lamb with a human-like face. The lamb was born in a village not far from the city of Izmir, Turkey.
Erhan Elibol, a vet, performed a caesarean on the animal to take the
lamb out, but was horrified to see that the features of the lamb’s
snout bore a striking resemblance to a human face.
“I’ve seen mutations with cows and sheep before. I’ve seen a one-eyed
calf, a two-headed calf, a five-legged calf. But when I saw this
youngster I could not believe my eyes. His mother could not deliver him
so I had to help the animal,” the 29-year-old veterinary said.
The lamb’s head had human features on – the eyes, the nose and the mouth – only the ears were those of a sheep.
Vets said that the rare mutation most likely occurred as a result of
improper mutation since the fodder for the lamb’s mother was abundant
with vitamin A, CNNTurk.com reports.
