Sheep Gives Birth to Human-Faced Lamb in Turkey
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.
Listen folks, don't be sending in stuff like this. It's just gross. The reason we posted this story anyway is not for the shock value of the picture, but the shock value of the location. Turkey might be pretty rural, but we all thought if this was going to happen, it would be in Alabama with a Nick Saban head. It's not a sign of the Apocalypse though, we'll know that's here when the mutants have laser beam eyes and stuff like that. This thing didn't even survive.
