A couple of months ago a goat gave birth to kids in a village in Egypt. One of the kids gave the farmer a surprise. He was born with a face that looked more like a monkey than a cloven-hoofed head.
The sad look of the goat caused a rather sickly excitement among the villagers and even some theories appeared explaining the reason for such an appearance. All the reasons very absurd.
When the farmer saw a strange animal with the head of a monkey he was very shocked. No one could explain the reasons for such a defect in the kid. His mother was very healthy and his brothers and sisters were healthy, too.
Some “clever” people have found an explanation in the fact that the kid’s dad is a monkey, which is absolutely stupid. However, oddly enough most people have become adherents to this particular theory. Rumors reached the point that they had to be refuted by the local veterinarian.
He explained that due to the close location of the squinting eyes the muzzle begins to resemble a monkey and this is just a deformation of the fetus, but not mysticism.
The dean of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine had to join the discussion as the rumors and superstitions multiplied. He supported a fellow veterinarian and said that such malformations also occur in humans. These can be both genetic causes and the influence of various infections or viruses.
Unfortunately, our little goat was initially doomed since its deviation wasn’t compatible with life and it was gone only at the age of two days.
