Sheep born with human face in Saudi: owner

An ewe sheep in Saudi Arabia gave birth to a sheep with a human face but it died just a few hours after its birth, a newspaper reported on Tuesday.

The ewe had given birth to the bizarre baby sheep at a farm in the southern town of Samita after a nine-month pregnancy although such animals normally have average pregnancy period of five months, the Arabic language daily Sabq said.

“I was very surprised when this sheep remained pregnant for nine months as humans,” its owner Abu Abdullah said.

“I was shocked when I learned about its delivery. I was out of town when my workers contacted me and said the baby goat has a human face. I came back and saw its face but it was already dead.”
