biorK Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 (edited) Bizarre birth: Some people have suggested that this cycloptic goat may be the result of bestiality. Photo: Sandile Ndlovu We kid you not! Astounded residents of Durban's Folweni township couldn't believe their eyes. And they couldn't believe the eye of a baby goat born in the village at the weekend - there was only one - in the middle of the goat's forehead, just like the Cyclops of Greek mythology. Even more astonishing was the fact that the single eye looked uncannily human... Read full story at: IOL Edited January 15, 2004 by Blaise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanctified Veteran Posted January 14, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 14, 2004 I dont think the article is serious, If you read the picture footer it says that its maybe the result of bestiality when its cientifically known that no species can procreate with acouple of another species, thats an universal fact, the rest are just urban legends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saVe Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 that's definitely not a fake. these things do happen. at a local museum we have one of those in the so called "freak show", where they have bodies of all kinds of strange animal malformations. when i first saw those as a kid i couldn't sleep for about a week :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozgeek Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Things like that can happen to new-born animals including humans. It is normal for that to happen. Some humans might grow extra fingers or have some parts at the wrong place like an arm in the front or head might become tilted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poind Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 (1) There's zero way it's from inter-species relations, as the article suggests. (2) Genetic "defects" do happen at times for various reasons (and have even played an important role in evolution as occasional "accidents" can become improvements), but would not expect one to occur as this one would appear. There's no sign of a second eye even having been attempted, nor is this eye off center, and the animal is otherwise symmetrical when it comes to limbs, ears, etc. (3) Given the source, and the scientifically impossible suggestion that inter-species relations led to such a thing, I'd discount the article and photo as fraudulent. If such an animal was indeed born, you'll be hearing of scientists studying it shortly enough, as what the photo presents would be an extreme extreme extreme fluke of genetics and biology and what happens and why.

Yazoo Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 definatley not a fake, I have seen one eyed animals before sheep and goats. Some do have them in the middle like that. Nothing new. As for beastiality well, thats just what the locals are claiming. The eye however does not look human from that photo to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
