T-R-A-G-E-D-Y: Sheep Gives Birth To Half Human, Half Sheep.

A sheep has allegedly given birth to a ‘half-
sheep half-human’ baby in Sokoto, Nigeria.
Local newspaper the Daily Sun reported that
after vets delivered the odd-looking lamb at
Fakon Idi Veterinary Clinic
on 22 January, thousands of curious
onlookers were drawn to the clinic.
The “mutant” sheep caused outrage among
the gathered locals, reported the paper,
believing the bloated "half-sheep half-
human" to be the result of bestiality or
witchcraft.
Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps
(NCDSC) had to step in to disperse the
crowd, who were demanding the owner of
the sheep to identify himself.
However “mutant” looking lambs have been
birthed before, notably in Turkey, when a
sheep was helped by vets deliver a baby
with a head that appeared to have human
features. Although the lamb remained alive
for some hours, spooked locals eventually
slaughtered the animal.
In Nigeria, Vets from the Fakon Idi clinic
were far more rational in their explanation
for the lamb’s appearance
Dr Ismail Usman, who helped deliver the
lamb, described the rumours going round
about the baby as “embarrassing”.
“It was a surprise that people’s perspective
could be so negative when it comes to
scientific reasoning and thoughts," he told
the Daily Sun.
He said it was more likely the lamb looked so
strange because the sheep had been two
days overdue and had suffered problems
during the pregnancy.
