Sheep gives Birth to Human Faced baby?

By Pravda.Ru writer Dmitry Sudakov

A sheep gave birth to a dead lamb with a human-like face. The calf was born in a village not far from the city of Izmir, Turkey.

Erhan Elibol, a vet, performed Cesarean section on the animal to take the calf out, but was horrified to see that the features of the calf’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.

Veterinaries said that the rare mutation most likely occurred as a result of improper nutrition since the fodder for the lamb’s mother was abundant with vitamin A, CNNTurk.com reports.

In Zimbabwe, a goat gave birth to a similar youngster in September 2009. The mutant baby born with a human-like head stayed alive for several hours until the frightened village residents killed him.

The governor of the province where the ugly goat was born said that the little goat was the fruit of unnatural relationship between the female goat and a man.

"This incident is very shocking. It is my first time to see such an evil thing. It is really embarrassing," he reportedly said. "The head belongs to a man while the body is that of a goat. This is evident that an adult human being was responsible. Evil powers caused this person to lose self control. We often hear cases of human beings who commit bestiality but this is the first time for such an act to produce a product with human features," he added.

The mutant creature was hairless. Local residents said that even dogs were afraid to approach the bizarre animal.

The locals burnt the body of the little goat, and biologists had no chance to study the rare mutation.

When you hear the word "Pravda" you think of a very serious official newspaper of Russia. In fact, it's the closet thing I have seen to the National Enquirer.

Pravda?

If you read them routinely for laughs you will note they periodically report capturing little men from flying saucers, as well as sea-monsters.

April is correct. It is genetically impossible for a human to produce offspring with a different species.
So whatever deformity the calf had, it was not human.

Not sure if the first story is true or not but rest assured, it is impossible for an animal and human to reproduce (in the case of the female goat and man).

Wikianswers / Answers.com
Can an animal and human reproduce?
No, the human egg cell has certain proteins on the outside that protect it from being permeated by anything but the human sperm cell (which has special proteins to break through). Also, if the human egg cell/animal egg cell were to combine with the other type of sperm, the number of chromosomes would be mismatched, causing the death of the potential embryo.

One more way it appears where God protects the human species (and animals, for that matter) from the idiotic behavior of a few who may try this. And unfortunately, there are some out there who would.

Are you sure this isn't photoshop work?  I found a site with the picture.  It looks human like.  Creepy is a good word to use to describe the way it looks.  I couldn't help but wonder if genetic experimentation was going on.  I looked at other animals that were on the site with deformities & there was another animal with a human like face.  There was a cow with a pig nose.
