A farmer was stunned when one of her goats gave birth to a strange “half pig, half human” creature.
Josephine Repique, 40, said the pregnant goat went into labor earlier this month on a small farm in Sultan Kudarat, Philippines.
A healthy baby had to be removed by caesarean section, but when the other strange thing appeared, screams of fear broke out.
