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.
