Mysuru: It is one of those freak
surprises thrown by nature. A goat at the Solapur hamlet in H.D. Kote taluk in Karnataka has given birth to two stillborn kids on Monday with a striking resemblance to a human face.
The goat gave birth to first human- like still-born kid at around 6.30 am.
Five hours later it delivered another kid, this time a female with human features.
The incident became talk of the town instantly.
Nearly 70 per cent of the features
are human-like. The eyes, nose and mouth resemble a human baby.
Even the limbs are like that of a
human. Only ears and foot were
those of a goat.
The owner of the goat, Bhaskar said he has been rearing the goat for four years and she has delivered around 10 babies till now, all of them normal.
His house is drawing crowds by the hundreds. Some felt it is an isolated case, while some others feared that the birth of such goats would bring a bad omen, and asked Bhaskar to dispose off the still-borns.
Deputy director of animal husbandry Dr Devadas said, “In medical terms, the condition in is called fetal anasarta, means the baby body filled with excessive fluids. This happens due to a genetic disorder or infection.” The two still-born baby
goats will be preserved and
exhibited at the Mysore Dasara
Exhibition, he added.
