Sheep born with human face
 
A sheep gave birth to a dead lamb with a human looking face in Turkey this week. A veterinarian performed a c-section to get the lamb out and was shocked to see a face that looked more human, than sheep like.



What do you think of him? Is he the creepiest thing you've ever seen? I think for me he is.

Cheesymitten January 14th, 2010 11:13 AM

It actually looks like it's a brain D;
Or it could have just been censoredededededed by a human..
X.X
That's really strange =/
I swear it didn't say anything in the article about how it happened..
Does anyone know how?

©ereal Killer January 14th, 2010 11:34 AM

X.X

That would be the scariest thing I have ever seen...

I have a feeling... that the sheep's father is HUMAN...
Like really... D:
And that is just sick, in a very bad way...

Feign January 14th, 2010 11:34 AM

Well considering in Sheep physiology, the mouth is in the wrong spot, I can only surmise that the skull was damaged or mutated enough, to make it look like a human face... It's not impossible for coincidences like this to occur, heck people find things in other things, like the Virgin Mary on grilled cheese. etc.

THIRTY-SIX January 14th, 2010 11:36 AM

That's like saying Jesus was in a beer.

It's just a coincidence. At least that's what I believe.

FreakyLocz14 January 14th, 2010 11:49 AM

Could this be the result of beastiality?

Ayselipera January 14th, 2010 11:55 AM

If it's real then I would think that the lamb just had a very bad disfigurement while developing.

Feign January 14th, 2010 11:57 AM

But let us hope that people in general know that Human DNA cannot be mixed with any other species besides human... through intercourse...

In Zimbabwe, a completely furless goat was born with a human face. People believed that the kid was a result of a female goat and a human man. But as Feign said, human DNA doesn't mix with other species' DNA through natural means.

(It's also spelled "bestiality".)

I read in the article from CNNTurk.com that veterinarians believe the mutation was caused by an overabundance of Vitamin A in the sheep mother's fodder. That's the only explanation that I've heard, since I haven't kept up with information regarding this.

devilicious January 14th, 2010 1:16 PM

It's kinda cute.

Actually, it reminds me of those Occa things from Legend of Zelda.

That's one of the weirdest things I've ever seen O.o

iLaxbe! January 14th, 2010 1:21 PM

Ah, why did it die? If the creature was alive, all we had to do is ask it "How did you get here, weird thing?"

It's called Pareidolia fyi. The human visual bias to interpret unsignificant information into something significant.

It stems from the fact that humans are always trying to bring order to a chaotic system.


It's just an undeveloped fetus. Get over it...

WHAT!! XD lol

ohh boy ya know it looks genuine but what puzzles me is why did the village burn the dead sheep? Maybe they thought it was a curse but i think its more like something smelly is going on in that story. I think its a hoax, why else would they burn the evidence before it was studied by scientist and only a picture exists as proof? A trained photoshopper could probably see right through that picture. If not beast and man cannot mate, its just a proven fact. Anything else the area around there might be like radioactive or something..it is russia after all. Maybe some nuclear waste is being stashed around that tiny village and its starting to seep into the water and earth..but thats just a crack pot theory of mines.

Honest January 14th, 2010 5:28 PM

That is pretty creepy... There's only one logical answer. Humans cant breed with other animals, so obviously, something happened to the sheep while it was in it's mother. Still, its pretty creepy *Shivers*

Captain Hobo. January 14th, 2010 5:29 PM

It scared the hell out of me when I first saw it on /sp/, of all places.

I wish they'd gotten to study it a bit before it was destroyed.

♣Gawain♣ January 15th, 2010 3:18 AM

^ You were saying?

About the pic... WHAT IN THE NAME OF BARNACLES IS THAT? IS THAT A...

The most plausible thing is the face is somewhat flattened and deformed as it goes out from the vaginal canal. Like humans, the harelip in humans, only it's in animals. Maybe the muscles in the cervix and uterus of the sheep is too strong, causing that to happen...

Hey! I'm a former nursing student, and I do had some experiences like that one. Deformed anatomy.

On the contrary, the article states that the lamb was delivered through a Caesarean Section. Therefore, I don't think the sheep's physiology had anything to do with the weird lamb.

Most likely, is that it's a deformed foetus. But you know, that's just my theory.

Humans can't breed with other sheep let alone other species.

Bear January 15th, 2010 12:58 PM

I'm not that surprised. Fetuses of different mammal species often look alike. An elephant fetus looks a lot like a dolphin, a dolphin fetus looks a lot like a puppy etc.

Guess its natural for them to have similar-looking features at such an early stage?

Sheep are already of a different species to us. They're sheep, you see.

I know there a different species. I was just saying that we can't breed with sheeps nor any other species.

.little monster January 15th, 2010 2:18 PM

It's funny how the body was burned after the photo, thus there is no proof.

Hm..

Oh well. Disgusting photo regardless.

Legobricks January 15th, 2010 5:03 PM

Looks quite normal to me, if a bit grotesque.
When something dies inside its mother it bloats, hence this apparent disfiguration and how it can no longer be delivered normally. The head is otherwise the right general shape and orientation in relation to the body, and given the stuff all over the lamb it's just how the colours patterned across its nose.

Zeta Sukuna January 15th, 2010 5:23 PM

It looks weird, in general, to me. It may be different, but I don't know, I never saw a newborn lamb before. It reminds me of those nightmarish abominations that I think up for stories, so I guess it doesn't look like anything new?

That weird mouth is kind of unusual, but it isn't 'creepy', just weird.

Kidding of course. I know English too.

As far as I can figure, it's just like Astinus said. A creepy coincidence.

I swear, the first person that says this is how people evolved would be one step up from a sheep... >< Forget your apes! Us livestock are headin' on up ourselves!

Idiot! January 16th, 2010 5:27 AM

I bet even baby elephants can look like humans too.

Guillermo January 16th, 2010 9:26 PM

I don't care if it's a human lamb. It looks fugly. :(

Which is a form of apophenia. <3

I'm inclined to agree with all of those who have posited that it's a mutation that's happened in utero. And to all those who genuinely thought it was a human-sheep hybrid, gb2 science class.

Giraffles <3 January 17th, 2010 2:39 PM

What no "PETA taking it to far" jokes?

Nah, but being serious it's just a tad creepy.

emoBill™ January 17th, 2010 7:47 PM

I've seen Cy, the cyclops cat, and thought he was cute, but my god that sheep is freaking terrifying. Not like I'd kill it on the spot but I'm just saying it creeps me out...a lot.

I think the female sheep had bestial [?] sex with a human guy, then when the guy found out he had gotten the sheep pregnant he left, afraid that he was going to have to pay child support. Then the husband sheep found out that the female sheep was pregnant and knew it wasn't by him because he had a vasectomy and left the female sheep, thereby making her have to have the poor little deformed lamb alone :]

Or it's just a freaky mutated thing.

.Bullet January 17th, 2010 8:15 PM

It's a deformed goat fetus, and combined with the fact that humans recognize faces within inanimate objects, it appears to us as humans to have a face like ours.

I have to say I'm intrigued to know exactly what caused the mutation, though.

Fox♠ January 19th, 2010 5:47 PM

Wow thats crazy hot.

Cassino offered what I think is the most realistic answer. Look at the headshape, it isn't that off, as for the mouth and nose, maybe a trick of the light or just some staining.

Anxiety. January 20th, 2010 8:11 AM

Hmm... meh. It's not all that creepy, it's strange but it's most likely a coincidence.

The Cynic January 21st, 2010 9:32 AM

Its called Pareidolia, this phenomenon (article here ~ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia). Us humans like seing human faces, its in our nature and we can't explain why. Ever wlaked through a dark forest and thought the trees looked like faces? This poor thing has obviously been somewhat mishapen and that is a shame.

I would also like to verify that sheep and humans cant breed no matter how hard I try. What defines a species as a species is the fact that it can't interbreed. F1 and F2 hybrids can exist, but the genetic gap between a sheep and a human is too great. Hybrids normally can be created between similar animals. For example a horse and a donkey can make a mule or a hinny. These are all equine animals. A human is a humanoid (duhh) animal and a sheep is an ovis animal. So an interbreed of these two species could not exsist.

I agree. It does have a passing resemblance to the shape of a human head, but it is still recognizable as a lamb's head.

Heart~Bunny January 21st, 2010 8:44 PM

It looks more like a Lamb's head to me. But, it does look human like if looked at in the right way. I can see it either way. It's either a mutation, hoax, or a deformed lamb. And, it's impossible for some human guy to impregnate a sheep. lol

Spinor January 21st, 2010 9:23 PM

mariodaplumber January 22nd, 2010 1:43 PM

Ew, its smiling. Weird, but still pretty cool x3

Reina January 22nd, 2010 2:57 PM

I'm not gonna lie... that thing scared the bloody hell out of me. It scares me even more 'cause if you look at it it almost looks like it's smiling... really demented-ish.
But in a totally different light, it reminds me of one of the bosses from Majora's Mask. o.o If you played I think you'd know which one. The Ox-thing with the mask.

Heart~Bunny January 22nd, 2010 3:37 PM

I must wonder.. if the lamb is real and just highly deformed... is it still alive? Most animals that deformed don't live long after birth.
