The carcass of a baby goat, said to possess unusually
human-like features has been handed over to Malaysia's Veterinary
Services Department
The baby goat belonged to Federal
Land Development Authority (Felda) settler Ibrahim Basir who had refused
offers of money from people interested in buying the carcass. Instead,
the 63-year-old decided to hand it over to the department to enable it
to carry out investigation on the strange-looking kid
Mr
Ibrahim, from Felda Sungai Mas in Malaysia's state of Johor, said he
was initially shocked when he found out that one of his goats had given
birth to a kid that had the features of a human baby
He
said he was earlier informed by his business partner Jamaludin Abdul
Samad, at around 11am last Friday that some parts of the baby goat
looked like a human infant. "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 said yesterday,
adding that despite the features, the kid did not have any umbilical
cord
Mr Ibrahim said the kid was already dead when
they found it, and was believed to have been trampled by its mother or
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 said.
