Half Human, Half Animal Hybrid Born In South Africa

A sheep has given birth to a half-animal, half-human hybrid in a village in South Africa, scaring local villagers who believe the creature was ‘sent by the devil’.

According to many of the 4,000 local residents of Lady Frere in South Africa, bestiality and witchcraft are the only explanations for the birth of the bizarre hybrid.

Dailymail.co.uk reports: The panic got so great that the Eastern Cape Department of Rural Development sent out experts to carry out tests after pictures of it spread like wildfire through the community.

Chief Director of Veterinary Services Dr Lubabalo Mrwebi admitted that at first glance the lamb which was born dead did resemble a human being but was not part human.

Dr Mrwebi said: ‘We can confirm this not a hoax photo but that the severely deformed lamb was born by a sheep in Lady Frere this week which at a glance resembles a human form.

‘It is not however human but a deformed stillborn lamb sired by a sheep and was subsequently infected by a Rift Valley Fever at an early stage of its pregnancy.

‘It is worth noting that a sheep has 28 pairs of chromosomes while humans have 23 pairs which is important in dispelling the myth that a union of a sheep ovum and a human sperm can lead to a development of a viable life form.

‘The deformed lamb exhibits signs that are consistent with an early foetal development that went wrong as a result of a viral infection and nothing more’ he said.

Dr Mrwebi said that the gestation period for a sheep is five months, and that meant that the particular sheep was conceived in late December 2016 or early January 2017.

He said it was a time of plentiful rainfall which brings with it many mosquitoes and midges which are carriers of viruses that cause the Rift Valley Fever in sheep.

Dr Mrwebi concluded: ‘It is fair to assume, therefore, that the sheep was infected by the RVF virus.

‘The resultant circulation of the virus in the blood found its way through the maternal blood into the uterus and the foetus, which was at a very critical stage of development.

‘The infected foetus then, as a result, failed to form properly, leading to the deformity that it became. It does look like a human form but it is not part human at all’ he said.

The department’s veterinary officials is conducting a post-mortem and its results will be communicated to the public who are fearful in the remote area that witchcraft is at play.

A villager was quoted as saying: ‘The elders when they saw it said it was sent by the devil and was born after a coupling between a man and a sheep and then there was panic.

‘Many people are afraid and will not be happy until it is burned’ he said.
