A bizarre-looking baby goat — eerily resembling a human baby — was born in a Felda settlement in Johor last week, but died almost immediately after birth.
The Star Online, in a report on the strange-looking youngling — belonging to Felda settler Ibrahim Basir — that was born on Friday, said the carcass has been handed over to the Veterinary Services Department to be investigated.
According to the report, ibrahim had received several offers to from people wanting to purchase the carcass.
Ibrahim was quoted as saying that his business partner Jamaludin Abdul Samad had told him of that the baby goat was born in Felda Sungai Mas.
Upon seeing it, Ibrahim said he was shocked to find that the kid bore features similar to that of a newborn human baby.
“When I went to check, I was quite shocked but fascinated too as its face, nose, short legs and even the condition of its soft body seemed like a human baby, but the light brown fur covering its whole body resembles that of a goat,” he was quoted as saying.
According to Ibrahim, the kid was dead when they found it. He said the mother may have trampled on it due to ‘other complications’.
“We kept the kid’s carcass in a polystyrene box filled with ice cubes before taking it to the district veterinary office at around noon yesterday,” he told the portal.
