Mutant goat is ‘worshipped as an avatar of god’ after it is born with ‘human-like’ eyes in India

A mutant goat is being worshiped like a god after being born with an eerie-looking human face, say reports.

Images and clips of the oddball beast have quickly gone viral after they were posted on social media in Rajasthan, India.

At first, the oddball animal left villagers in Nimodia baffled as its freakish facial structure makes it look just like a grumpy old man.

However, they now reportedly say the unfortunate-looking creature will be “worshiped as an avatar of god.”

Owner Mukeshji Prajapap, from Nimodia, first unveiled his flat-faced goat on film showing it wagging its tail and stumbling around.

In India, it is common for mutant animals to attract attention as many consider them to be a sign of god, according to local sources.

Experts have suggested the goat suffers from a rare congenital defect known as cyclopia, in which genes that under normal circumstances create facial symmetry fail.

Recently a mutant cow was born in the Bardhaman district of West Bengal that was also worshiped by the locals until it sadly died at just 4 months old.

A mutant piglet that looked like a chimpanzee was born in Cuba with one eye in the middle of its forehead.

In 2017, a goat was born with a single huge eye in India, baffling local villagers.

Vets feared the animal, which only had one ear, would die within days — but it defied expectations and survived.
