Human Goat

[Froobyx]

Someone had posted this link on my Facebook from a Zimbabwe news site. I found it quite disturbing but intriguing at the same time.

Do you think what the people did were justified before science could get involved and what do you actually think of the animal?

Well, it's Zimbabwe what do you expect, they probably payed 110191983395334092734023740347032403937430473047204732042704720 for it.

WHAT THE-

 

[TriggerUnhappy]

What idiots. "A strange creature appeared, what should we do with it?" "Burn it, witches probably made it!" Aside from that, I don't have a clue what it could be, though I'd trust that guy saying it had hydrocephalus condition. Seems more likely than some freak occurrence of inter-species breeding.

 

[Skeleon]

Bah, it's just a deformed goat, get a grip.
There are many similarily strange things, such as human babies suffering from anencephaly or trisomy 13 with a cyclops-like face. Sad, sad stuff.
I just wish they hadn't burned it so that the doctors could've debunked the story.

 

[Booze Zombie]

Idiot locals, burn it go on, that way you'll never know what it actually is.

Does that mean someone knocked up a goat? That's pretty fucked up :S

Humans can't impregnate animals...

It's obviously just a deformed goat. I have a picture of a tree that looks like Clint Eastwood, but does that mean he knocked up a plant? Absolutely not. This is just an abnormal mutation.

 

[AkJay]

So, it's the real goatse?

 

[Pimppeter2]

Goat man?

The possibilities!

...
Scientists have WAY too much time and money on their hands...

Eh, just looks like a really deformed goat to me. Leave it to us egotistical humans to project our appearance on anything that doesn't look quite right.

Emm they could if the DNA and no.of chromosomes are similar enought. Humans are animals as well but its a DNA thing. Might be able to get human/chimp (might not work but in theory it could) also the offspring will be infertile.

Real world examples of cross breeding are the Zeedonk (zebra and donkey) and Ligar (lion adn tiger)

OT; this just looks like a mutation, similar to albino animals (in terms of gene mutation, not what the expressed phenotype is)

 

[Hookman]

Thats Human-Like?! That just looks like a furless goat with a distended head to me!

 

[andrat]

Yeah that sucks.

 

[j0z]

Hehe... this reminded me of a funny joke I heard, but I don't know if I should post the link here. I don't want to get in trouble, so I recommend going to youtube and searching for "dirty jokes- episode 11".

OT- looks like a deformed goat to me, not some weird Human/Goat hybrid. I just wish those stupid villagers hadn't burned it so scientists could have gotten a look at it.

 

[Smagmuck_]

ZOMG! A WITCH! A WITCH! AHH! *Uncontrolable sobbing* LOL.

 

[sirdanrhodes]

It looks like...

IT'S A TRAP!

GOD DAMNED YOU SCIENCE! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

As for the Goat child, well statistically something like this is perfectly possible, though unlikely, humans and Goats share a lot of common characteristics; Goats and Humans both have four limbs, two eyes, one heart ect.

It's perfectly explainable so there's really no need to start raving about religion.
