Two mutant lambs born with facial deformities in Indonesia
- 4 years ago
Two mutant lambs with severe facial malformations baffled residents of a small village in Indonesia.
One of the strange lambs, a white one, has two eyeballs inside one socket and a nose-like growth dangling from its forehead.
The other brown lamb has normal eyes, but the holes of its nose are at the end of a protruding growth in its forehead.
The two male lambs were born in Garut Regency, West Java on August 19 from the same sheep at a local farmer's stable.
Kurnia, who lives at the village, said: "The lamb belongs to a farmer named Lia who lives near my house and workplace."
Because of their malformations, the two lambs are not able to suckle from their mother like normal newborns.
Instead, they are given special care by the farmer and bottle-feeding them every time they ask for it.
Despite their condition, Kurnia said his farmer neighbour are optimistic that the lambs will survive with his help.
He said: "Lia said the lambs look healthy and can live a long life with his help. I hope he is able to raise them well."
