The elders of a village in South Africa have proclaimed that the beast had been ‘sent by the devil’! The “beast”, which looks like a half-human half animal, was bred by a sheep. Many of the 4,000 strange residents and farmers of Lady Frere in Eastern Province, South Africa are convinced that bestiality and witchcraft led to the birth of the creature.
Panic in the small village soon led Eastern Cape Rural Development Department send experts to conduct testing after images of propagation as a forest fire through the community.
Director General of Veterinary Services Dr Lubabalo Mrwebi admitted that much that at first sight resembled a humanoid like form, but clarified that it was not human part.
He said: “We can confirm this not a joke photo, but that the severely deformed lamb was born from a sheep in Lady Frere this week that at a glance resembles a human form.”
It turns out that the animal in question was nothing more than a lamb born dead raised by a sheep that had subsequently been infected by a Rift Valley fever at an early stage of its pregnancy.
Mrwebi said that it was a time of abundant rain that brings with it many mosquitoes and mosquitoes that are carriers of viruses that cause the Rift Valley Fever in the sheep.
Dr. Mrwebi concluded: “It is fair to assume, therefore, that the sheep was infected with the virus of the RVF.
“The resulting circulation of the virus in the blood found its way through the maternal blood in the uterus and the fetus, which was at a very critical stage of development.The infected fetus then, as a result, was not formed correctly, giving rise to To the deformity that was made. It looks like a human form, but it is not a human part at all, “he said.
It is worth mentioning that a sheep has 28 pairs of chromosomes, whereas humans have 23 pairs and a union between the two, bearing fruit, is almost impossible.
