Calf with 'human face' born in Argentina
Updated | By East Coast Breakfast
The calf sadly lived for a few hours but a video of the animal, when it was alive, has been shared online.
According to Mirror online, the calf shocked farmers when it was born with a human-like face.
The mutant animal was born in the tiny village of Villa Ana, Argentina. Footage of the animal was posted on YouTube.
It was born with a small mouth and nose. It also had difficulty holding up its head.
Genetics expert Nicolas Magnago told local media that the animal could have had a rare genetic mutation.
"It was a spontaneous mutation caused by the action of mutagens, physical, chemical or biological agents, which altered its genetic sequencing," Magnago said.
