In South Africa, a sheep scared the locals by giving birth to a “half-human.” The birth of a “half-sheep, half-man” caused panic in an African village A sheep gave birth to a half-man after learning the reasons

In South Africa, on one of the farms in the settlement of Lady Frere, a strange lamb was born to a sheep. Outwardly, he vaguely resembles a human. The unusual baby scared the locals. RIA Novosti reports this with reference to the local publication IOL.

As the publication notes, the villagers decided that “dark forces” were probably involved in the birth of such a creature. To calm panicking people, the head of the Eastern Cape veterinary service had to be sent to the settlement.

The veterinarian who examined the lamb explained that although the stillborn animal indeed resembles a human, this creature has nothing to do with people and, in all likelihood, became a victim of Rift Valley fever.

“The sheep contracted Rift Valley fever during early pregnancy. There are all the signs that early fetal development was abnormal due to a viral infection,” the doctor explained.

He also emphasized that sheep have 27 pairs of chromosomes, while humans have 23 pairs, so, of course, we are not talking about any “half-man, half-sheep.” The veterinarian assured that an autopsy will definitely be carried out, and its results will be made public especially for those residents of Lady Frere who believe in “witchcraft.”

Residents of the Lady Frere area in the Eastern Cape Province (South Africa) are horrified by the creature born from a sheep and are sure that there was some witchcraft or bestiality involved. People are panicking and the provincial agriculture department has sent a representative to the region to find out what happened.

Many of the four thousand farmers of Lady Frere have been in superstitious fear since the day when a sheep on one of the farms gave birth to an ugly baby that looked like half man and half animal. The elders immediately declared that this creature was “the messenger of the Devil.” Panic then increased and photographs of the creature spread throughout the area.

Director of Veterinary Services Dr Lubabalo Mrwebi admits that the lamb is indeed incredibly human-like, but in fact there is nothing human about it.

“This is a deformed stillborn lamb and its deformity is only the result of the ewe contracting Rift Valley Fever early in pregnancy. A sheep has 28 pairs of chromosomes, and a person has 23 pairs and therefore they cannot in any way produce a common offspring. The appearance of this cub is fully consistent with the deformations that can occur as a result of infection at an early stage of embryonic development.

Dr. Mrwebi further said that sheep carry their young for 5 months, which means conception took place at the end of December 2016 or early January 2017. During this period, the region has a lot of heavy rainfall and a lot of midges, which are carriers of Rift Valley fever viruses.

The Department of Veterinary Medicine will conduct a necropsy and the results will be made public especially for those residents of Lady Frere who believe in “witchcraft.” Meanwhile, one of the local residents said that people will be filled with fear until this creature is burned.

In the village of Lady Frere in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa, a ewe gave birth to a very human-like lamb, which greatly frightened the local residents. Experts even came to the village to find out whether the “humanoid” born from a sheep had anything in common with a human. “Contrary to various rumors, this is physically impossible.

Veterinarian explains why 'half-man, half-lamb' baby was born in South Africa

A "half-man, half-lamb" was born on a farm in South Africa. The authorities of the Lady Frere settlement had to call a veterinarian to explain to local residents that this was not witchcraft, but the consequences of Rift Valley fever. The sheep gave birth to a strange creature without wool, with crooked limbs and an underdeveloped head. Local residents decided that it was a hybrid.

In the South African settlement of Lady Frere, a lamb was born on one of the farms, vaguely similar to a person, RIA Novosti reports, citing local media.

A lamb man was born in a South African village

On a farm in South Africa, a sheep gave birth to a dead lamb with a strange mutation, which is why it looks like a human. According to local publication IOL, this caused panic among local residents. People decided that the lamb-man was the creation of dark spirits.

A creepy-looking lamb born in the village of Lady Frere (eastern South Africa) aroused evil suspicions among the farmer's neighbors and they called experts. While the experts worked, the elders declared the lamb a “messenger from hell.” A ewe in South Africa gave birth to a dead lamb with human characteristics, Vesti.ru reports.

The birth of a lamb caused panic among the population in Lady Frere in the Eastern Province, South Africa.

As the elders say, the birth of this “half-man, half-beast is the work of the devil himself.”

Most of the 4,000 local residents and farmers are convinced that it was bestiality and witchcraft that led to the birth of this creature, reports the Daily Star.

The village quickly became very panicky and the Eastern Cape Rural Development Department had to intervene. Experts arrived in Lady Frere to determine the cause of the mutant's birth.

Director of Veterinary Services, Dr Lubabalo Mrwebi, agreed that at first glance the stillborn lamb looked human. But there is nothing human about him.

“We can confidently confirm that the photographs are not fake. It is a severely deformed lamb with a head that has human features.

The reason for its unusual appearance may be that the sheep contracted a viral infection during the early stages of pregnancy. Most likely it was the RVF virus.

Sheep have 28 pairs of chromosomes, while humans have 23 pairs. This fact completely dispels the “otherworldly” origin of the lamb,” Dr. Lubabalo Mrwebi.

Veterinarians also performed an autopsy to finally reassure the superstitious population and rule out any witchcraft. The results were publicly announced.
